The “human body drain” is the concept of speculation “the human body’s armpit, elbow fossa and knee fossa said to be the ‘drain’, and later the network and the so-called seven or nine ‘drain ‘, there is no scientific basis for this.” Dr. Fang Gong, a researcher at the Institute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and director of the Acupuncture Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told Science and Technology Daily, “If, according to the so-called ‘health post,’ by stimulating these points to unblock the meridians, and thus play a ‘dampness, detoxification Detoxification’ effect, then we tap any part of the human body can stimulate the acupuncture points, can dredge the meridians, the body on the acupuncture points almost all over the body, according to this logic, all parts of the human body can be called ‘drainage mouth’.” “The human body does not have the so-called ‘outfall’.” Yan Zhang, a professor at Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine School of Basic Medicine, affirmed. He said that the human body has a natural detoxification system, through sweating, tears, breathing, coughing, coughing phlegm, urination and defecation, etc. can be the body’s toxins out of the body. Take the detoxification of dampness, Chinese medicine has the “Division of open and close”, sweat holes and skin is a very good “dampness can be removed. When the day is hot, the sweat pores open, the couples open, people can sweat to dissipate heat; when the day is cold, the sweat pores closed, the couples closed, the wind, cold and damp disease can not invade. Dr. Gong Peng, MD of Shuguang Hospital, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, also wrote: “The human body is relatively balanced most of the time in the absence of major diseases, and even if there are some fluctuations, it can be restored to a normal state through established mechanisms. If you blindly over pat, serious cases may cause other diseases or even life-threatening, must be careful. In particular, some people with fragile capillaries or a tendency to bleed or abnormal blood pressure should be more alert.” Before, in the media similar reports, there are experts on this “beat detoxification” said questioned, that these places are mainly lymphatic tissue, beat can be through physical stimulation, promote local circulation to improve metabolism, according to the meridian patrol parts beat, indeed has a meridian, health effects, but can get rid of dampness and toxicity this claim is not reliable. Moreover, there are many acupuncture points in these places, a slap up, can shoot several acupuncture points. The “drainage mouth” to get rid of dampness and toxicity is not reliable What is ‘poison’ in Chinese medicine? This concept is still somewhat controversial in the academic world. According to the theory of Chinese medicine, fire, moisture, poison have their specific concepts and meanings. “Poison” often refers to the state and degree of accumulation of a substance, and Wang Yongyan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has written an article to clarify the concept of “poison”: “‘Poison ‘ is the physiological or pathological products in the body that cannot be discharged in time when the function of the internal organs and qi and blood are malfunctioning, accumulating too much in the body and generating”, traditional Chinese medicine to take countermeasures such as “detoxification”, “detoxification “, “detoxification” and other means, and now often said “detoxification”. “wet” there are internal and external wet, the method of removing dampness is different; “fire” there are real fire and false fire, the treatment methods and points are also different. “The so-called ‘beat the drain can detoxification’ argument, from the perspective of Chinese medicine acupuncture, clinical medicine, there is no evidence to prove the scientific nature of the beat method of detoxification, does not have a scientific basis.” The post said the armpit, elbow fossa, knee fossa, the so-called “drainage” parts, but only the folds of the human joint parts, there are indeed some points and meridians, especially the elbow fossa and knee fossa parts of the points are more concentrated, but the points may not play the role of dampness detoxification, may play a little role in unblocking the meridians . But by patting the way may not be through the meridian, even if the meridian really “through”, but also do not see the toxins out. In order to get rid of dampness, for example, dampness is related to the spleen, kidneys, lungs, Sanjiao and other organs of the human body, and needs to be combined with the four methods of diagnosis of Chinese medicine to identify different drugs or acupuncture points for treatment. In terms of acupuncture points to get rid of dampness, the clinical preference is generally for Yinlingquan points, rather than the so-called “drainage” points. The body detoxification health, one is to light diet, away from fatty, sweet, thick and greasy food, to eliminate excess nutrition; second is exercise and fitness, activities of the limbs to the body slightly sweating to the degree that can effectively strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, remind the public not to be “fooled” by these pseudoscience.
