The Meridians are the energy channels of the human body. The vital life force, qi, moves through these channels and guarantees the proper functioning of every organ. As its name suggests, the lung meridian controls the lungs and the rest of the respiratory system. Most importantly, it is where the body transforms air into usable qi.
The Lung Meridian
The lung meridian refers to the Lung Meridian of Hand Taiyin. It begins near the stomach, travels up towards the collar bones, reaches outward to the front aspect of the upper arm, descends to the radial side of the wrist, and ends at the tip of the thumb.
When the Lung Meridian Is Blocked
When you breathe, your lung absorbs air, transforms it into qi, and delivers it through the lung meridian. When the lung meridian lacks qi, you may have qi deficiency problems. The qi deficiency in the lung meridian will cause respiratory diseases, most often coughing, sneezing, panting, and sore throat. Also, because the lung is a “qi provider,” the lack of qi in the lung meridian will affect the entire body’s qi storage and make you feel weak.
How to Improve Qi Flow in the Lung Meridian
Massage
Massage is always an easy-to-learn exercise to stimulate a meridian. You may massage the most common acupoints, Taiyuan (LU 9) and Chize (LU 5) acupoints, and improve the qi flow in the lung meridian. Taiyuan is on the wrist line at the radial side, and Chize is on the elbow crease at the radial side. You can press or rub these two acupoints ten times and keep the time within 1 minute. Or you can pat the entire lung meridian from the shoulder to the thumb.
Hot Shower
Taking a hot shower after an exhausting day is very comforting, but there are also other benefits that you might not realize before. They can temporarily increase circulation and give a small boost to qi flow in the meridians. Moreover, if the water pressure is strong enough, you can use the showerhead as a massager and stimulate the meridians.
Eat Certain Food
Some foods are beneficial for the lungs and the lung meridians, such as pears, honey, Chinese yam, radish, pomelo, and lotus roots. These foods can supply qi to the lungs and improve lung functions, which will enhance qi flow in the lung meridian.
MicroGen for the Lung Meridian

Breathing is critical for life, and we rely on the lungs to bring in fresh oxygen.
