In Acupuncture, the body is said to have highly complex electrical circuits and these electrical circuits must be kept in good working order to function effectively. Illness may result if these circuits are blocked and not functioning properly. To maintain good health the body’s energy and blood need to circulate in an unobstructed and continuous manner.
The Pathways which energy flows are called meridians and circulate through organs and tissues.
The energy that flows along the meridians is called Qi (Chi). These meridians have been mapped out by the Ancient Chinese and can now be detected by using electronic and thermal images.
There are over 500 Acupuncture points along these meridians and by stimulating these points with fine acupuncture needles the quality and quantity of Qi and fluids can be maintained.
