Acupuncture Points and Energies

The main meridians are dotted with points that are all strategic areas. Contrary to what the layman usually thinks, these points are not under specific treatment. That is to say that there is not a point of sleep, a point of angina, dental pain or abdominal colic. The points can, as stated above, affect the price of energy.

The most important points for the treatment of energy meridians in the hand are those located near the ends. It is easy to ascertain the location of a point: the location of the needle into the skin is normally painless: simply touch the tip of the needle when it is precisely in-point, when it is one or two millimeters away.

Traditionally, there are 360 points located on meridians that run throughout the body surface.  However, other points have subsequently been identified and depending on the model used, you can find more than 2,000 points.
The meridians
There are 12 main meridians. They begin (or end) at the tip of a finger (or toe).  According to the course of a river, they are the correspondence on the body, they grow from their source (a fingertip) to the center of the body. They have numerous tributaries or secondary channels that feed on their energy flesh, muscles, internal organs and the whole body. The center lines of the body are covered by two specific meridians; one said earlier is “conception,” another is “Governor”.

The meridians are therefore the means by which the body receives this energy, which may contribute to nutrition, providing information (especially from the outside) but which are also gateways to certain diseases.

The six energies
They are: Tae Yang (Tai Yang); Chao Yang (Shao Yang); Yang Ming; Tae Yin (Tai Yin); Chao Yin (Shao Yin); Tsiu Yin (Jue Yin).
