๐ Discover the Wonders of Traditional Chinese Medicine! ๐ฟ
โจ In TCM, practitioners focus on the body's intricate map of intersecting channels (meridians) and points (acupoints). These networks are key to understanding a patientโs physiology and determining the best treatment.
๐น Practitioners can insert needles or burn moxa at strategically chosen points along these channels to treat various conditions. This approach underpins practices like acupuncture, acupressure, and moxibustion, all acting on the principles of these meridians.
