• The general theory of acupuncture is
based on the premise that there are
patterns of energy flow (Qi) through the
body that are essential for health. Different
acupuncture points lie along the body's
meridians. Stimulating these points with
acupuncture needles or pressure relieves
obstructions in the flow of energy, enabling
the body to heal.
• According to traditional Chinese medical
theory, acupuncture points are located on
meridians through which gi vital energy
