Meridian of the spleen and pancreas (RP) According to the canons of the ancient oriental medicine, the spleen-pancreas (RP) meridian is a functional system related to the digestion and movement of food in the intestines and the absorption of nutrients

Basic data on the topography of the Spleen-Pancreas Meridian and its reflexology points.
(RP; MP; Sp) refers to the leg system, paired (Fig.). It originates at the inner edge of the nail bed of the first toe. On the foot, the meridian runs along its inner-lateral surface at the border of the dorsal and plantar surfaces of the skin. Somewhat in front of the medial malleolus, it crosses the ankle joint and exits onto the anterior inner surface of the tibia, running up the posterior edge of the tibia.
Crosses knee-joint and along the anterior inner surface of the thigh it reaches the abdomen, crossing the middle of the inguinal ligament. At this level, the meridian is divided into two branches: one of them - superficial - is directed along the anterior abdominal wall at a distance of 4 c. (tsunya ()) from the anteromedial line. At the level of the XI rib, the meridian deviates outward and passes on the chest at a distance of 6 centimeters. from the anterior midline. Having reached the second intercostal space, the superficial branch of the meridian turns somewhat outward and downward, ending in the sixth intercostal space along the mid-axillary line with the da-bao point. The second (deep) branch of the meridian, which entered the abdominal cavity in the lower abdomen, approaches the spleen, pancreas (traditionally the right meridian is controlled by the pancreas, and the left by the spleen) and stomach. After crossing the diaphragm, it rises along the esophagus to the base of the tongue and is distributed onto it. bottom surface. Earlier, a collateral departs from the pancreatic branch of the meridian, which also crosses the diaphragm, but goes to the heart. The “direction of energy” in the meridian is centripetal.
According to the concepts (like the organ itself) - functional system, related to the movement and digestion of food in the intestines, as well as the absorption of nutrients. In addition, the spleen regulates water exchange in the body, and disruption of its function can lead to the development of edema. For example, with the development of postoperative pulmonary edema, after organ surgery abdominal cavity you should influence the spleen meridian and the paired meridian - the stomach meridian.
The spleen also regulates and controls the composition and purification of the blood, supplying nutrients to the blood, and thereby providing normal function other organs through sufficient blood supply. The spleen, together with the liver, is responsible for the condition of the muscles. Following Eastern concepts, the spleen-pancreas meridian “holds” intellect, thinking and imagination under its influence. Diagnosis of “meridian lesions” causes certain difficulties even among the classics of acupuncture. Traditionally it is believed that bad memory, daytime sleepiness, flatulence, numbness, weakness in the legs and a passion for sweets are signs of “insufficiency” of the spleen. Visually, to determine the function of the meridian, importance is attached to the condition of the oral mucosa, especially the lips. “The mouth is the mirror of the spleen, and the lips are the reflection of its well-being.” With a normal spleen, the lips are pink and moist; with a “lack of energy,” the lips are pale and dry. IN practical activities It should be remembered that acupuncture at the points of this meridian normalizes the functions of the alimentary canal (the main meridian along with the stomach meridian), liver, pancreas, spleen and lungs.
The meridian plays a supporting role in the treatment of genitourinary diseases (the main meridians are the kidneys and liver). Impact on the distal meridian points has a positive effect on the emotional and intellectual sphere in some types of depression, neurasthenia, as well as mental inertia, insufficient concentration and fatigue.

Pungent taste is associated with qi. If there are many spicy food, then heart disease occurs. The pungent taste moves with the qi, so the pungent taste enters the heart and the person begins to sweat. The bitter taste corresponds to the bones, and if a lot of bitter food is eaten, then the person will experience bouts of vomiting. Sweet taste is associated with muscles, and if there is a lot of sweet food, then the person will be in a depressed mood.

Ancient secrets of reflexology

Five types of shu points: stomach, lungs, joints, heart, heat diseases

The five shu points are the five types of points on the twelve main meridians. They are called source points, stream points, rapid points, river points, estuary points.

Such points exist on the meridians of the Zang organs (dense organs belonging to the Yin system) and Fu organs ( hollow organs, belonging to the Yang system).

Main function dense organs – processing and storage of nutrients, vital energy qi, blood and body fluids. The main function of the hollow organs is to digest food and remove toxins from the body.

Source points are used as emergency aid in critical conditions. At these points, the channel qi is not located deeply. Therefore, source points are often used when emergency care, contributing to the awakening of the vital spirit in critical conditions.

Translation from Chinese by Elena Buyanova
Some patients, who are amazed by the effectiveness of my treatment and the accuracy of the diagnosis, want to understand what the secret is and how I succeed. Actually, the secret can be expressed in a few words - I try to become a mirror for a sick person.

When I work with a patient, I myself am a patient, I can feel from the inside what the patient feels, I can reason as this patient reasons - as if I am singing with him in one voice.

When I massage the body along the points and channels, I listen to what the sick body wants to tell me

I think the treatment process is not that difficult at all. But it is necessary to create favorable environment for healing, as it is fashionable to say now - atmosphere.

When I massage the body along points and channels, my hands can tell me a lot and can conduct a dialogue with the patient’s body.

The healing process is a process of mutual exchange – I listen to what the sick body wants to tell me, and this is where the essence of the problem and the answer to the question are usually hidden.

Although many of our doctors believe that listening to a patient is useless, they would rather believe the results of examinations, tests, bury themselves in thick books in search of an answer, but will never believe the words of the patient.

They believe that the patient does not understand anything about the topic and is talking about some unprofessional nonsense.

They think that treating a disease is the job of a doctor, the patient is suffering from the disease, you just need to repair the mechanism, and everything will be fine.

It is generally accepted that the level of professionalism of a doctor depends on his experience. He treated many patients, which means he knows a lot. I'm with this at the root I don't agree. In hospitals, I often had to deal with old doctors who spend their whole lives treating people the way they were taught in their distant youth.

If the approach to treatment and the theoretical foundations are not correct from the beginning, then further experience is nothing more than an accumulation of errors and failures.

I often compare patients to a clock on a spring; the winding has run out and it has stopped.

• The doctor is the hand that will pull the chain, and when the walkers start working again, the doctor’s task is completed.
• But if this hand randomly pulls the chain, climbs into the mechanism, the watch will lose the ability to work independently, the disease will develop to a sad end.

The goal of any treatment should be to stimulate own strength body of the patient, the doctor must believe in this potential, must help the patient find and activate these hidden forces, force them to gradually get involved in the action.

The mother of one of my friends suffered from leg cramps in the evenings. The hospital determined a calcium deficiency. But no matter how much she took calcium tablets or ate calcium-rich foods, the seizures continued.

Da Du and Shan Qiu points

I listened to her pulse and said that The spleen canal is blocked, so calcium is not absorbed by the body. He advised her to massage two active points on the splenic canal - Da Doo(SP 2) and Shan Qiu(SP 5). As a result, after three days my legs stopped cramping.

How often do we rely on someone's help? And help is not outside, but within us.

One day, while visiting a friend, I met a young girl. She could be called beautiful if her face were not spoiled by numerous pimples. Everyone who saw her was overcome with regret.

Tai Chun and Xing Jian points

I listened to her pulse - apart from the weakened beating of the heart muscle, nothing extraordinary. I advised her to activate the points by circular kneading Tai Chun(LR 3) and Xing Jian(LR 2) to stimulate blood circulation, then fresh blood can flow to the head area.
