“…e meridian orientation of traditional Chinese medicine refers to the selective effect of traditional Chinese medicine on different organs and the specificity of traditional Chinese medicine on meridians based on the theory of meridians [6][7][8][9]. e meridian tropism has been proved to be effective in guiding clinical practice, but other than the scientifically mysterious bioenergy or Qi concept, there is hardly any clue to what exactly happens immediately after a medication and could be observed precisely.…”

“…The urinary excretion rate, loss in weight of rats, and the electrolyte levels in the plasma were measured in order to study the meridian tropism for Tinglizi ( Semen Lepidii Apetali ), Yiyiren ( Semen Coicis ), and Cheqianzi ( Semen Plantaginis ) [ 7 ]. The relationship between the modified Wuzi Yanzong prescription and meridian tropism was studied according to the tissue distributions of the metabolites, mainly flavanoid compounds in rats [ 8 ]. The distribution of tryptanthrin in rat tissues, following oral administration at a dose of 100 mg/kg, was studied in order to characterize the relationship with meridian tropism of indigo naturalis [ 9 ].…”

Red yeast rice is a traditional Chinese medicine and food that has been purported to color food, ferment, and lower cholesterol. In order to study the antioxidative capacity of red yeast rice and the effects on electrical potential difference (EPD) of 12 acupuncture meridians, the pH value, oxidation reduction potential (ORP), ABTS, FRAP, T-SOD, and particle size distribution of red yeast rice were analyzed. 20 volunteers were recruited and randomly divided into two groups, the red yeast rice group (10 g red yeast rice and 40 g water) and control CK group (50 g water). The left 12 acupuncture meridians’ EPD was real-time monitored. Samples were taken at the 10th minutes. The whole procedure continued for 70 minutes. It is shown that the pH value of the red yeast rice was 4.22, the ORP was 359.63 mV, the ABTS was 0.48 mmol Trolox, the FRAP was 0.08 mmol FeSO4, the T-SOD was 4.71 U, and the average particle size was 108 nm (7.1%) and 398.1 nm (92.9%). The results of 12 acupuncture meridians’ EPD showed that the red yeast rice can significantly affect the EPD of stomach, heart, small intestine, and liver meridians.
