What’s wrong with the pain all over the body? Is it a blockage of the meridians?

Generalized pain may be related to the blockage of meridians, but may also be caused by other reasons, need to be identified by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to determine the diagnosis. Meridian is the five viscera and internal organs and body skin, limbs, five senses and seven orifices of the interconnected channels, meridians have the operation of qi and blood, communicating with the body surface up and down, regulating the functional activities of the internal organs and tissues. Meridians through the operation of qi and blood, and yin and yang, so that the body’s functional activities to maintain a relatively coordinated balance. The meridians may be blocked by cold, blood stasis, phlegm, etc., resulting in generalized pain, which can be relieved by a TCM practitioner who identifies the symptoms and selects medicines that have the effect of relieving pain, such as chicken-blood vines, hook vines, scorpion, centipede, and dirong (a kind of pain relieving medicine that relaxes the tendons and bones and unblocks the meridians). In addition, if wind, cold, dampness and heat attack the limbs and muscles of the whole body, causing malfunction of qi and blood, it will also cause pain in the whole body. Because “the spleen is in charge of the muscles of the body” and “the liver is in charge of the sinews of the body”, if the spleen and liver are weak, they cannot nourish the muscles and sinews, which will also cause pain all over the body. If generalized pain occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner and use the right medication after being guided by a Chinese medicine practitioner to identify the symptoms, rather than blindly using the medication on your own.
