Acupuncture and Meridians
“Meridians not only feed vital energies
to their related organs, they also reflect
any pathological disturbance in those
organs, thus providing a convenient
and highly accurate tool for diagnosis
as well as therapy.”

Concepts of Meridians & Acupoints
• No one knows how meridians were originally identified.
• Some believe that acupoints originated by practitioners treating tender spots, also called trigger points, using acupressure or acupuncture.
• The radicular pattern of pain during stimulation of the tender spot may have been interpreted as a meridian.
• Early practitioners may have believed pain represented blockage of Qithrough a meridian.
• Needling or pressure to reduce pain was then thought to restore the normal flow of Qi through the meridian.

An Ancient View of Pain• Qi travels through our meridian system
• Qi provides nourishment for every cell,
tissue, muscle, gland and organ
• When Qi becomes blocked and
imbalanced, pain and disease result
• As water flows through river networks
nourishing our planet, Qi flows through
our meridian networks nourishing our
body

Acupuncture Background
• Meridian channels (n=12) – run length of body
• Form the basis for theory and clinical application of acupuncture
• Part of traditional Chinese medicine• Used for >3,000 yrs
• Empirical basis
• Rare in U.S. until Nixon visited China in 1972

Meridians: Myth or Reality?• Close correlation between• AP Meridian
• Peripheral Nerve Pathways
• Meridians appear to possess bioelectric function similar to PN
• Meridians follow PN• Lung (LU) = Musculocutaneous N
• Pericardium (PC) = Median N

Meridian Research• Stimulation of AP points on meridian
lower resistance at other meridian points
• Injection of radio-isotopes into one point gradually accumulates at other points
• Radio signals places over one AP point can be picked up at other AP points along the meridian

Conclusion
• Meridians make up the highways for organized energy circulation throughout the body.
• Acupuncture points are the major cities along the highway which control traffic.
• Knowing the location and timing of the energy flow in the body helps develop appropriate treatment strategies.
• Remember, that the surface meridian also connects with the central one.
