The theory of meridians and collaterals originated from the Yellow Emperors Inner Canon, a medical masterpiece that emerged in China 2,500 years ago and is still used extensively today. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians and collaterals are channels that connect internal organs with the limbs and drive vital energy and blood throughout the human body. They nourish the internal organs like rivers. By tapping relevant parts of our body corresponding to our own constitution and symptoms, we can clear our meridians and collaterals, invigorate our vital energy and blood, and enhance our health and spirit.
