Is based on a philosophy called TAO. Philosophy of harmony and balance between man and his environment and himself.
This therapy is probably one of the subtlest. It is based on correcting imbalances of energy that travels through the body. Energy is represented by a series of points, called meridians. There are 12 meridians, each representing an organ (liver, lung, etc.). or viscera (bladder, gallbladder, etc.)..These meridians go throughout the body from top to bottom and from bottom to top.
To achieve this balance, we use the command of the meridian points concerned. There are, among others, points to disperse (remove energy), tonify (increase energy), or send energy to another meridian.
In the illustration, is the small intestine meridian, the meridian is born at 5º finger and ends on the cheek.
Diagnostic methods
In addition to medical history, diagnostic single point of coincident with Western medicine is the use of pulse diagnosis, but used in a different way. Essential pillar for the energy assessment. In the radial artery, 12 pulses are different, 6 in each hand, each corresponding to an organ. Through them you can see the energy of each organ. Logically, one cannot have a proper treatment, without a proper diagnosis. Many times people are surprised when with the pulse we could say symptoms they have not manifested.
There are other means to confirm the diagnosis of pulse, if necessary, as the diagnosis of tongue, changes the color of certain areas of the face, and so on., Etc.
Any healthy person should make a diagnosis of energy from time to time, is the best way to understand preventive medicine, if there is an energy imbalance can be compensated before it gets to create physiological and disease course.
