How to activate or agitate our gallbladder Meridian ? The normal method is to beat the outer side of one's thighs from the hip till the ankle. The easiest way to identify that part of the gallbladder meridian is to follow the side seam (facing out) of one's pant . It is roughly where the said meridian is located. You can use your knuckles or hold your hollow fist, that is, you should not firmly hold your fist but loosely with a hollow at the centre. You can beat about 200-300 times a day but not necessarily all at one go. You can beat the meridian several times a day to make up the total number. The ideal way is to beat whenever you feel free to do so without counting how many times you have beat the said meridian. The benefits of beating our gallbladder meridian. According to Chinese Medical theory, by activating points along the meridian will be able to cure relevant sickness, that is to say, wherever there is pain, there is a blockage and hence by releasing the blockage one is able to cure the pain or sickness that gives rise to the pain. By activating relevant points which are similar to acupuncture points along the gallbladder meridian one may be able to cure migraine, pain at the neck, shoulder, joints, cramps, tinnitus, sprain at ankles (acupuncture points) besides removing fat which is deposited along or around the said meridian. From the western theory, fat that is deposited at our body is the result of consumption of too much carbohydrate which is converted into and deposited as fat hence to avoid fat being deposited one should consume less carbohydrate or on diet so to achieve the desired slimming body structure. However from the Chinese Medical point of view, fat is the baggage that is unable to be excreted out from the body and thus is stored as fat. Fat is not part of the body but attached to our muscle. You are therefore advised to drink more water after beating the gallbladder meridian so that the solidified fat can be turned into liquid form so as to facilitate its excretion from the body. From the feedback it seems that beating the said meridian one can cut away excess fat at the thigh and improve one's beauty at the same time. If you beat the gallbladder meridian, you can help your body to produce more bile. Bile is used for the purpose of disintegrating or breaking down food which you have eaten. When the quantity of bile is being increased, then the ability to disintegrate food also increases which resulted in more nutrients being absorbed by your body system. With the increased quantity of nutrients, there is more raw materials for the production of blood. When the quantity of blood is increased, then your blood energy (qi xue) is also increased and your health will be improved because the excess blood will be able to transport nutrients to more cells, arterial capillaries which previously were not able to do so. With sufficient nutrients in the cells, your body cells will then be able to function properly and efficiently.
