Dr. Li and the other traditional doctor came to the hotel and explained more about the meridians to us. We were shown all the drawings of the human body and told about the different meridians and points. It was cool to see that a point on the arm could help with stomach pain. Or how a point on the leg helped with clear skin and beauty. I think that some of the points are kind of silly but many can work because of nerves. It’s really hard to physically map nerve points on a body but I believe that is the basis for the meridians. It makes sense why pressing on these spots would hurt, if they are nerves. Also pressing nerves can lead to changes in pain because the firing would be stopped or changed. Also nerves can lead to released hormones which could also explain the pain stopping or feeling better.
