The Point Of Acupuncture Meridians

Yin And Yang

When the body’s energy currents are out of balance, the body gets sick. This is the theory behind acupuncture 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. Acupuncture 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 acupuncture 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 acupuncture works, or even if acupuncture meridians are “real”, but they do agree that acupuncture 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 acupuncture 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 acupuncture treatments. Some people think that the best acupuncturists are Chinese, but as more and more nations offer acupuncture training, acupuncturists of any nationality can be just as good. The knowledge is not secret, only known to those with Chinese DNA. By studying acupuncture meridian charts, finding any imbalance areas in your body and inserting the special needles, anyone is fully capable of learning acupuncture.
