General: Meridians (Traditional Chinese Medicine) are channels in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) where the life energy (Qi) flows. Each meridian is assigned to an organ or organ system. Acupuncture points are located on the meridians. Various meridian therapies are designed to help patients stay or become healthy. According to the TCM, health is associated with a free and sufficient flow of Qi in the meridians. If, for example, too little Qi flows, harmful Qi could enter the canal and damage the associated organ.
