Chinese Natural Cures And Remedies That Uses Acupuncture Points Is Evidence Of An Energetic Health Map.

Chinese natural cures and remedies like acupuncture, acupressure, qi gong, herbal medicine all uses the knowledge of energy as the foundation to good health. This knowledge of energy and its association to our health has been established well over 3,000 years ago.

The perfect balance and harmony of this life force energy, or more commonly known as Qi, creates the perfect environment for our body to heal naturally.

For example, in acupuncture,

• Women suffering from pre-menstrual cramps problem has an energy disharmony at Sanyinjiao acupuncture point of the spleen meridian
• People with migraines and headaches has energy disharmony at the Hegu acupuncture point of the large intestine meridian
• People who constantly suffer from constipation could have an energy disharmony at the Quchi acupuncture point of the large intestine meridian.

Hence, Chinese natural cures or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) allows us to understand how Qi energy flows through channels of energy called the meridian system that governs the functioning of the body’s organ and muscles. 

With Chinese natural cures, good health is achieved by maintaining a delicate balance of yin and yang energy as well as to ensure smooth flow of this energy through the meridian system.

As you know, our body is constantly ‘damaged’ and can heal itself naturally. However, our body will have low healing ability or our organs and tissues will even malfunction when there are blockages and uneven flow of energy.

Paradigm Shift

Many illnesses are not curable in western medicine. However, in chinese natural cures we are able to allow our body to heal naturally. 

Merely by creating this perfect environment of energy flow, we facilitate our body’s own inherent desire for perfect health to heal naturally.

Unlike western medicine, biological function rather than physical body parts divides the system, which is why there are some on the list with no corresponding anatomical structure. Hence, in Chinese natural cures, the spleen is not a specific piece of flesh, but an aspect of function related to the transformation and transportation within the body, and of the mental functions of thinking and studying.

Hence, in chinese energy healing therapy, each of the meridians is link to each of the twelve major organs (Zhang-Fu organs) of the human body that balances each other by Yin and Yang energy:

On these meridians, there are located accupuncture points or stimulation points. 

These acupuncture points are located where the Qi of the channels rises close to the surface of the body. 

In chinese energy healing therapy, there are at least 365 accupuncture points identified.

In fact, scientists have conducted studies and determined that acupuncture points are areas of low impedance on the surface of the skin, where electricity is conducted more easily than other surrounding areas. These accupuncture points tend to be located in depressions and grooves between muscles and other tissues, which allow the Qi of a meridian to be easily accessed.

Each of the points along that meridian has a different effect on that meridian. 

Certain points are known to tonify (supplement) the channel, organ or function others to reduce (sedate) whilst others have a homeostatic (balancing) effect.

Traditionally, each point on the meridian system has a unique Chinese name. However, in western world, each acupuncture point is named according to its sequence along their associated meridian. For example, the first acupuncture point of the Lung meridian is named Zhong Fu, but we also refer to accupuncture points numerically as Lung 1.

Here are some examples of how these acupuncture points are used in chinese energy healing therapy:

• Large Intestine Meridian, Point NO.4 of 20, LI4, HEGU (Location of this point is at the back of the hand. It is situated in between the first finger and the thumb). This sends energy to the face. Therefore, helpful for fatigue, dental health, colds, flu, sinus congestion, keeps the eyes clear and healthy, headaches and migraines.
• LI 11 is a key point, which is also located on this meridian. (This meridian is also known as Quchi. This is located at the elbow and is used for treating various disorders in the upper body). Clear heat out of the body like hot flashes, fever, constipation
• Governing Vessel, Point No.20 of 28, GV20, Baihui (This is a point which is located on the head). Increase energy of the body, increase endurance, elevating mood including depression
• Spleen Meridian, Point No.6 of 21, SP6, Sanyinjiao (The location of this point is just above the ankle on the inner side. Being located in the spleen meridian). For women's health, pre-menstrual cramps, strengthening digestion

Though more complicated than the chakra points, the meridian system and its acupuncture points provide very a precise health map for chinese energy healing therapy. Amazingly, it allows us to treat even deep embedded organs from its acupuncture points, usually located on the limbs. In my eBook "Energy Healing Therapy: The Emerging Evidence to Great Health" list a report by WHO on conditions that acupuncture is proven to be effective.

Most importantly, chinese energy healing therapy clearly establish that energy is the root of the problem and creating harmonious energy balance and flow in our body is key to creating the perfect environment for our body to naturally heal.

The harmonious balance of energy is affected primarily by water, stress and electro-smog.
