Lines of influence (meridin) (acupoint paths)

The ancient Chinese believed that the basis for the functioning of the body's activities, its diseases, and the means of its healing stem from twelve lines that extend on the surface of the body. And on these lines are the acupoints affecting all vital events and activities.

And in Chinese books there are explanations of about two thousand acupuncture points, although there may be more than that in reality. These books talk about the ailments that can be treated or mitigated by stimulating one or more of these points with a puncture of fine needles to the skin.

After six similar treatment courses - once every two weeks - the condition was completely cured. .

It is noted that the classification of a thousand acupuncture points with twelve errors and two additional lines is a classification with great practical benefits... When diagnosing a pathological condition related to the heart... the therapist usually resorts to heart points... As for choosing a specific heart point without other points of the heart, he Things that will be detailed later. Although any heart acupuncture point had a healing effect, the specific point on the heart line was in the above case the most effective of all the eight heart points.
