Meridians or channels through which vital energy or Qi flows.

Meridians, or Jing Mai, defines a vessel system described in the Nei Jing (the oldest Chinese medicine book). So the word "Meridians" refers to the major longitudinal blood vessels on the body, 3 on each arm and leg, so we have a total of 12 called principal meridians. Those vessels interconnect the whole organism and transport "Qi" or blood, nutrients, and oxygen.

Traditional Chinese Medicine discovered and defined blood flow as fundamental substances flowing in the body a minimum of 1,500 years before the Europeans.

Due to the mistranslation of the Huang Di Nei Jing form Sulie de Mornat (French consul) in 1939. Traditional Oriental medicine is based on esoteric and energetic principles, but the reality is that it is based on strong physiology and anatomical structures knowledge, just as western medicine does.

Jing Mai means blood vessel, and it is used in the Huang Di Nei Jing to define the blood circulation in the human body. This was written about 2200 years ago.

This meridian theory is a fundamental component of Traditional Oriental medicine.

This whole theory was developed after millennia of clinical practice, involving a deep knowledge of Yin meridians, Yang meridians, and Acupuncture points that create a circulatory system that allows us to diagnose and treat almost any imbalance in the body. Traditional Oriental Medicine TCM aims to improve the functions of the entire body through the stimulation of acupuncture meridians, herbal medicine, nutrition, qi gong, etc.

Once the body recovers its equilibrium, health comes back into our lives.

In TCM, the meridian system is the foundation of diagnosis and treatment. Practitioners believe that any disruptions or imbalances in the flow of qi through the meridians can lead to health issues and discomfort. By understanding the meridian system, TOM practitioners can identify the root causes of health problems and work to restore the balance of qi.
