TCM is the foundation of Meridian Bojin therapy, a form of therapeutic massage. Qi, or vital energy, passes via certain pathways in our body called meridians. Certain acupuncture points, which correspond to different parts of the body, are connected to these meridians. Health issues may arise from a barrier or stall in the flow of Qi.
In Bojin therapy, certain areas along these meridians are kneaded and pressured using a specialised ox horn instrument. The instrument facilitates the free passage of blood and Qi, eases tension, and removes obstructions. The therapist can efficiently release stuck energy by focussing on certain acupuncture sites throughout the body’s meridian pathways, which can enhance circulation and bring the body back into equilibrium. It is generally recognised that this procedure promotes the body’s general wellbeing and energises its inherent healing capacities.
Releasing obstructions in the body's meridian channels, which can be caused by a number of things, including stress, bad posture, environmental causes, or emotional trauma, is the main objective of Meridian Bojin therapy. By stimulating these important acupuncture points, the ox horn kneading technique helps to release any tension or congestion in the energy flow.
The life energy, also known as Qi, flows along the meridians throughout our bodies, feeding different organs and tissues. Weariness, soreness, and digestive problems are some of the symptoms that might appear when the flow of Qi gets blocked or sluggish. Bojin therapy is thought to remove obstructions and improve the flow of blood and Qi by activating particular places along the meridians, enabling the body to operate at its best.
Our therapist will knead and apply pressure to certain body parts that are associated with these meridian channels during a session using the ox horn. Depending on the amount of tension in each region, this procedure may require applying different pressure levels. The main goals are to loosen knots, remove obstructions, and stimulate the body's natural healing processes.
Meridian Bojin therapy makes it possible for blood to circulate more freely throughout the body by releasing tension and obstructions in the meridian channels. The organs and tissues may receive more oxygen and nutrients as a result of the improved circulation, which may promote the healing and restoration of injured areas.
Tight muscles can be released, pain can be reduced, and inflammation can be decreased with the kneading and pressure used during Bojin treatment. Because of this, it works well to treat chronic pain conditions like headaches, neck stiffness, and back pain. Additionally, it might provide relief from ailments that traditional treatments might not adequately address by addressing the underlying energy blockages.
The body's detoxification processes can be accelerated by bojin treatment. It facilitates the body's more effective removal of waste and toxins by enhancing blood and Qi circulation. More vitality and general well-being may result from this.
Bojin treatment can enhance digestion and relieve common digestive problems like indigestion, constipation, and bloating by activating important meridian points related to the digestive system. It promotes regular bowel movements and improved nutrient absorption by improving the way the stomach and intestines work.
Meridian Bojin therapy can help with sleep patterns since it corrects energy imbalances that impact general health. It helps control the body's internal systems by removing obstructions and promoting the flow of Qi, which enhances sleep quality and lessens the symptoms of insomnia.
When too much fluid accumulates inside the body, it can lead to water retention, sometimes referred to as fluid retention or oedema. Swelling in the hands, feet, legs, and even the face may result from this. Although it affects both men and women, women are more likely to experience it during times of hormonal shift, such as menstruation or pregnancy. A sedentary lifestyle, poor food, poor circulation, liver or renal problems, or an imbalance in the lymphatic or hormonal systems are some other contributing factors.
Our therapist will knead along meridians linked to the kidney, bladder, and spleen; important organs involved in water metabolism, using a smooth ox horn instrument during a Bojin session. Activating these regions aids in:
Bojin treatment is widely regarded as safe for most individuals. Like any treatment, it's crucial to speak with the therapist before the treatment, particularly if you have any particular health issues. Consult your doctor for advice if you are pregnant, have a major medical condition, or are receiving other therapies.
You could feel soreness or painful during a Bojin treatment while the therapist works on important acupuncture points. This indicates that your body's tense spots are being addressed by the therapy. But it's important to let your therapist know right away if you have severe or unbearable pain. To make sure you are comfortable, they will modify the pressure.
As with any massage technique, temporary muscle soreness can occur, but it typically subsides within one to two days. Bruising is rare but may occasionally occur. If bruising happens, it is generally not serious and will disappear within a week.
