home -> meridians

There are thought to be 12 Meridians running on both sides of the body, plus two central, governing meridians. These are the Spleen, Kidneys, Liver, Stomach, Gall Bladder, Heart Protector, Lung, Heart, Bladder, Large Intestine, Triple Heater and Small Intestine.

All of the meridians have a purpose in which, if they do function properly or energy is stagnated along these meridian points due to stresses, it can almost certainly lead to all sorts of related illness.

Ki, Chi or Prana Energy

There is a universal energy that flows through all things, this is thought to be concentrated in the meridian pathways. Stagnation along these pathways can lead to imbalances affecting the body, mind and spirit, manifesting in illness and disease.

Acupoints or Tsubos

Energy accumulates at these points along the meridian, just like a pool in a stream. The electrical resistance of the skin is lower at these points. During On-site acupressure massage these points are stimulated because this is where it is easiest to affect the flow of energy.
