Acupuncture Center: Meridians and Acupuncture

Meridians and Acupuncture
Meridians are a map of how the universal life energy (chi) flows through the body. These channels are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues, and internal organs. Pain and illness occur when the flow of energy is blocked within these channels. As long as chi flows freely through these pathways health is maintained.

How Does It Work?
Each acupuncture point has a variety of unique physical and electrical properties, and stimulation of these points produces definite physiological reactions, such as changes in heart rate and blood pressure. By stimulating appropriate acupuncture points along the body’s meridians, blocked energy is released allowing the body’s own natural healing energy to flow and restore balance and health.
