Description
The classic Chinese explanation of acupuncture is that channels of
energy run in even patterns through the body and across its surface.
These energy channels, named meridians, are like rivers flowing
through the body to irrigate and nutrify the tissues. A blockage in the
movement of these energy rivers is like a dyke that backs up in others.
The meridians may be molded by needling the acupuncture points; the
acupuncture needles release the blockages at the dams, and restore the
regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments may
therefore help the body’s internal organs to rectify instabilities in their
digestion, absorption, and energy production actions, and in the
circulation of their power through the meridians.
Think acupuncture, think needles. Primarily this is the way most
people view the art of acupuncture. These needles are inserted into
the skin but not too deeply; it would seem, at various locations to
relieve pain or to correct a negative problem in a particular body
part.
The Beginning
It is not surprising to note that this art form originated from ancient
china. The early Chinese physicians discovered the energy network just
below the surface of the skin which communicated and connects the
exterior surroundings to the internal organs and the various individual
body systems in over a thousand acupoints. These acupoints are found
in specific strategic places all over the body.
