The colonic meridian is the second part of the lung meridian. The colon meridian supports the function of the lung meridian and is a supplement. Both work together and are subject to the elimination process.

Music: The music corresponds to the energy of the large intestine meridian and makes it easier to work with these meridians. The energy flows unhindered - blockages are released.

Jitsu/surplus: If there is an excess of this energy, this is shown by dissatisfaction, which is often compensated by frequent eating. This causes flatulence in the intestine, hardening, intestinal disorders of all kinds and hemorrhoids. The disturbed excretion also causes itching and inflammation. The noses and bronchial mucous membranes are tight and cramped, a tendency to asthma and angina problems arise.

Kyo/deficiency: If there is a deficiency, this is shown by a gloomy mood, a lack of determination and positive thinking. The body expresses this through a sluggish intestine that alternates between constipation and diarrhoea. The same symptom is also seen in the nasal mucous membranes and the bronchial mucosa. The general weakness is tightening from the hips down.


The "togetherness" of the 12 meridians and their functions:

• Lung and colon meridian = excretion
• splenic and gastric meridian = digestion
• Heart and small intestine idian = adaptation and control
• Renal and bladder meridian = purification and hormone system
• Pericard and San Jiao = circulation and protection
• Liver and galley meridian = food and energy intake

Yin & Yang:

• Yin meridians run from the toes to the trunk and from the trunk to the fingers.
• Yang meridians run from the fingers to the face and from the face to the toes

General: Meridians (Traditional Chinese Medicine) are channels in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) where the life energy (Qi) flows. Each meridian is assigned to an organ or organ system. Acupuncture points are located on the meridians. Various meridian therapies are designed to help patients stay or become healthy. According to the TCM, health is associated with a free and sufficient flow of Qi in the meridians. If, for example, too little Qi flows, harmful Qi could enter the canal and damage the associated organ. (quoted from Wikipedia)
