Heart Meridian

 

Functions
The Heart meridian has the primary function of governing the blood and blood vessels of the body.
It also governs the sweating function of the body, and strongly affects the performance of the tongue due to the secondary Heart energy channels which connect the Heart meridian itself with the base of the tongue.
The healthiness of the Heart meridian manifests in the complexion of the skin.
The Heart meridian is also said to house the spirit of the human soul, which correlates with the idea that a person "has lots of heart" if they have a strong spirit.
Common Uses
  • Treats chest pain and disorders related to the rhythm of the physical heart.
  • Improves circulation and performance of the blood vessels throughout the entire body.
  • Calms the spirit and improves emotional wellbeing.
  • Heals disorders of the tongue and speech disorders. This is because the Heart meridian is connected to the tongue via the secondary energy channels.
  • Treating throat problems such as pain, swelling, and congestion. The Heart meridian is connected to the throat via the secondary channels.
  • Treating eye problems such as redness, pain, or swelling. This is because the secondary Heart channels connect with the eyes.
