The article introduces some Chinese medicines that can dredge the meridians, but in addition to taking Chinese medicine for conditioning, many Chinese medicine treatment methods and diets target acupoints and meridians, such as massage, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, scraping, etc., so you can also massage your acupoints more often and perform Chinese medicine physical therapy regularly, so that you can keep the meridians unobstructed.
