The philosophy
At the core of this ancient medicine is the philosophy that Qi (pronounced “chee”), or vital energy, flows throughout the body. Qi animates the body, supports all its different functions, and protects it from illness, pain, and disease. A person’s health is influenced by the quality, quantity, and balance of Qi.
Qi flows through specific pathways called meridians. Meridian pathways are like rivers flowing inside the body. Where a river flows, it transports life-giving water that provides nourishment to the land, plants, and people. Similarly, where meridian pathways flow, they bring life-giving Qi that nourishes every cell, organ, gland, tissue, bone, and muscle in the body.
An obstruction to the flow of Qi is like a dam. When Qi becomes backed up in one part of the body, the flow becomes restricted in other parts, which prevents the healthy flow of energy, blood, nutrients, and oxygen to the rest of the body, leading to inflammation, pain, weakness, and loss of basic bodily functions.
