Meridians
Meridians are the channels through which, in TCM, Qi and blood are understood to flow, connecting the body's surface with its organ systems.
What Meridians means in TCM
A general definition, not medical advice.
TCM maps 12 main meridians, each linked to an organ system, plus extra vessels. Acupuncture points lie along them. Practitioners choose points along a meridian to influence that channel, and TuiNa massage follows their paths.
