Acupuncture, is a system of treatment which
has a very unique outlook of the body physiology and functioning. This system
of medicine though widely popular in the eastern parts of Asia is yet to gain
its popularity in India
While the ancient Indian system of medicine
is based on “nadis”, the acupuncture system is based on “meridians” both of which
refer to flow of energy in specific channels which regulate the functioning of
specific organs.
There are a total of 12 paired meridians
mirrored on each side of the body which have been mapped by the ancient Chinese
for the major organs of the body. There is also a deeper understanding of the
flow of energy in the meridians which are defined as “YIN”, an upward flow of
energy and “YANG”, a downward flow of energy in the body. (with some
exceptions)
The 12 meridians include six “yin” (
representing the solid organs) and
six “yang” (representing hollow organs).
By convention, one yin and one yang organ is paired together.
