ABSTRACT

Ziwu liuzhu originated from ancient China, originated from the "internal meridian", reflecting the law of qi, blood and Yin and Yang flowing into the meridians at 24 hours, which can be used for acupuncture, drug selection, health and so on. Meridian flow can be linked with the rhythm of human body clock and used to guide the treatment of metabolic diseases caused by circadian rhythm disorder. Therefore, the application progress of meridian flow theory in type 2 diabetes was analyzed from the sources of meridian flow theory, the influencing factors of blood glucose, the imbalance of Yin and Yang, and the dysfunction of zang-fu organs. In order to achieve better clinical therapeutic effect, meridional flow theory was used to guide drug use.
