Acupuncture Overview

The channels or meridians on the body used for acupuncture make up a complex network along which energy or Qi travels. Each meridian corresponds with a different organ in the body. There are 12 main meridians along which 365 acupuncture points are located. Traditionally, each acupuncture point has its own unique Chinese name.

Acupuncture points are located on areas where the Qi flows closer to the surface of  the skin. The most frequently used acupuncture points are the command points, which are located from the elbow crease to the fingertips and from the knees to the toes. Each of the points along that meridian has a different effect on that meridian.
