The existence of the meridian of the heart membrane is very important for us. When we are young, we ignore viruses and infections, oblivious to the fact that each disease reaches the outer lining of the heart and causes short-term inflammation. A young heart copes with infection without pain and interruption. But for health and longevity, stimulation of the pericardial meridian is very important!

We rub the warming composition into nine points of the manual energy channel of the pericardium on the left or on the right hand (the meridians are symmetrical about the vertical axis of the body). The direction of energy movement along the channel is from the center to the periphery. As always, we draw your attention to the versatility of each channel point!
