Energy

Our bodies have an intricate network of 'energy' channels known as meridians, which carry our Ki/Chi or life force to every part of our body including our organs and muscles. Along these channels there are specific points that can control the flow of Ki/Chi, known as treatment points. Illness is attributed to imbalance or interruption of

chi flowing through the meridian channels.

The term acupuncture describes a family of procedures involving stimulation of anatomical points on the body by a variety of techniques. As in many oriental medicine practices, the emphasis of acupuncture is on prevention.

The earliest written account of acupuncture is found in the Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine). This document is believed to be from around 200 BC and is one of the oldest comprehensive medical text books.

Eastern Medicine believes that every living thing (both human and non-human) has qi. In the body, qi is found in the heart and lungs in circulating blood and oxygen. If the circulation of Qi is disrupted, blocked, or becomes excessive or deficient, illness may occur.

Qi is believed to regulate spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and to be influenced by the opposing forces of yin and yang. According to traditional Chinese medicine, when yin and yang are balanced, they work together with the natural flow of qi to help the body achieve and maintain health. Acupuncture is believed to balance yin and yang, keep the normal flow of energy unblocked, and maintain or restore health to the body and mind.

Traditional Chinese medicine practices (including acupuncture, herbs, diet, massage, and meditative physical exercise) all are intended to improve the flow of qi.
Balancing of the meridians has been found useful in many conditions including pain, joint problems, gastric disorders, insomnia, lethargy, immune system response, conception, sports injuries and organ toxicity to name but a few.

The twelve regular channels are:-

Lung Channel

Large Intestine Channel

Stomach Channel

Spleen Channel

Heart Channel

Small Intestine Channel

Urinary Bladder Channel

Kidney Channel

Pericardium Channel

Sanjiao Channel

Jaw Pain

Gall Bladder Channel

Liver Channel

All of these channels are paired - that is they are present on both sides of the body, left and right and points can both be used. In the diagrams where a point is shown on one side of the body a corresponding point exists on the other side of the body. The two extra channels are known as:-

Governor Vessel or Du Channel - points listed as GV. Conception Vessel or Ren Channel - points listed as CV.

These are unpaired channels - they run down the mid-line of the body, one on the front and one on the back.

During ill health these meridian channels can become unbalanced with some points along the channels having reduced energy levels through blockages whilst other areas have high energy levels thus creating an imbalance of energy in the body.

Poor nutrition, negative emotions, physical injury, and an adverse environment will for example lead to the organs not functioning at their optimum levels this will also be as a result of their energy levels being reduced.

Hence the balance of the meridians will be dependant upon the balance of the other factors within the Godai. The imbalances of the meridians can be restored via needling, magnets and acupressure; in order to sustain this balance at Amatsuhealth we regularly balance the 8 master points of the body.
