Brief Introduction to Meridians and Collaterals

The theory of meridians and collaterals deals with their courses and distribution, physiological functions, and pathological changes in human body, and their relations to the Zang-Fu organs. It's one of the most important aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This theory formed in ancient times and has been developed through the long-term practice of Chinese doctors, and guides the diagnosis, treatment and application of all branches of TCM. It has a very close relationship with Acupuncture and Chinese Tuina massage.

The meridians and collaterals pertain to the Zang-Fu internal organs, and extend to the extremities and joints, intergrating the Zang-Fu tissues and organs into an organic whole. They transport Qi and blood, and regulate Yin and Yang, keeping the functions and activities of all parts of the body in harmony. Moxibustion, Tuina Massage and other treatments are all based on the theory of meridians and collaterals.

The meridians include the 12 regular meridians. The distribution the 12 meridians on the body surface is governed thus: the Yang meridians are mainly distributed on the lateral aspects of the upper and low limbs, and on the back; the Yin meridians are mainly on the medial aspects and abdomen (expect the stomach channel of Foot-Yangming, which has its branches distributed on the abdomen). The three Yin meridians of the hand run from the chest to the hand, the three Yang meridians of the hand from the hand to the head; the three Yin meridians of foot run from the foot to the abdomen, and the three Yang meridians of the foot run from the head to the foot.

Relations between the 12 meridians and the Zang-Fu organs (mediated by Qi and blood circulating round and round to nourish the whole body continuously) are shown in the following table:

Yin channels of the Zang organs belong to the interior Yang channels of the Fu organs belong to the exterior
The Lung channel of Hand-Taiyin The large Intestine channel of Hand-Yangming
The Spleen channel of Foot-Taiyin The Stomach channel of Foot Yangming
The Heart channel of Hand-Shaoyin The Small Intestine channel of Hand-Taiyang
The Kidney channel of Foot-Shaoyin The Uninary Bladder channel of Foot-Taiyang
The Pericacardium channel of Hand-Jueyin The Sanjiao channel of Hand-shaoyang
The Liver channel of Foot–Jueyin The Gall Bladder channel of Foot-Shaoyang

How will I feel during and after treatment?

That will depend on your condition and personal sensitivity. Most people experience the feeling of a local acupuncture point as being sore, numb, an electric shock, or painless - followed by a feeling of peace and relaxation. Normally David DeAngelo suggest you have a rest 10-15 minutes before pick up lines and after Acupuncture treatment. If you are in any doubt, you could bring a friend with you on your first visit.
