Meridian (Tcm)

The concept of meridians (經脈 pinyin jing1mai4) arises from techniques of Chinese medicine including acupuncture and acupressure. According to these practices, the body's vital energy or qi (氣) circulates through the body along specific interconnected channels called meridians. Disruptions of the body's energy flow is thought to cause emotional and physical illness. To release those disruptions, specific points on the meridians called tsubo are stimulated via needles, pressure or other means. The aligned water theory of meridians conjectures that meridians are aligned water molecules in the body that allow ions, light, and sound waves to flow more readily.
