What is the premise of acupuncture in terms of meridians?
?Acupuncture is based on the premise that a cycle of energy circulating through the body controls health. Pain and disease are seen as the result of a disturbance in the energy flow, which can be corrected by inserting long, thin needles at specific points along longitudinal lines, or meridians, throughout the body. Each point controls a different corresponding part of the body. The meridian system consists of a network of interconnected points throughout the body that allow the passage of energy. If they are blocked or congested, they may not be able to supply adequate energy to particular organs. Acupuncture is a healing practice that attempts to unblock congested meridians to allow the free flow of energy.
