Acupuncture Meridians
The Point Of Meridians
Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. It’s considered a normal medical practice in China and the Orient. It is a complicated and effective form of healing. You just can’t stick Grandma’s sewing needles into you at random places. You have to, literally, know where to stick it. Acupuncturists can’t do their work without the knowledge of meridians, which chart the energy streams in the body. meridians have been charted for people and animals.
Yin And Yang
When the body’s energy currents are out of balance, the body gets sick. This is the theory behind meridians. The ancient Chinese observed that most things in the universe come in pairs – black and white, cold and hot, male and female, etc. So, too, do the body’s energy currents. Some flow with active Yang energy, and some flow with receptive Yin energy. Ever see the Yin/Yang circle, half black and half white? That design neatly sums up the idea that everything comes in equal and opposite portions in order for life to be happily balanced. meridians tell acupuncturists how to restore this balance.
Acupuncture meridians are invisible, and do not correspond with any anatomical part of the body. But just because we can’t see it, doesn’t mean

it isn’t there. You can’t really see a thought as a physical reality, but it is definitely there. The acupuncturist has gone through years of medical training to detect how off course your Yin and Yang meridians are and place special, thin, sterile needles to correct the flow of energy and hopefully get it fixed.
And The Results Are In
Scientific and medical studies do not agree on HOW works, or even if meridians are “real”, but they do agree that WORKS, whether you understand how it does or not. Both people and animals often find the treatments relaxing. Indeed, dogs going for chronic arthritis relief often fall asleep during treatment!
Is for you? Talk to your doctor or health care specialist to see if they can recommend a qualified acupuncturist for you. Some health insurance plans in North America now cover treatments. Some people think that the best acupuncturists are Chinese, but as more and more nations offer training, acupuncturists of any nationality can be just as good. The knowledge is not secret, only known to those with Chinese DNA. By studying meridian charts, finding any imbalance areas in your body and inserting the special needles, anyone is fully capable of learning acupuncture.
