There are 12 pairs of meridians in human body as shown in following image
The Chi energy or Prana flows through these meridians. The 12 pairs of meridians have 2 types, 12 Yin and 12 Yang meridians. Yang are male meridians with upwards flow and Yin meridians are female meridians with a downwards flow. The Yang meridians withdraw Chi from the atmosphere and the excess energy is discharged back to the atmosphere by the Yin meridians. Thus, the Yin meridians act as a safety valve, protecting the human body from excessive energy, achieving a perfect balance of energy. The imbalance of this energy circulation leads to various diseases.
When the flow of Chi or Prana is blocked by a meridian, the organ starts getting degenerated. The flow of energy to an organ may be blocked years before physical changes can be seen in the organ. Opening a blocked meridian reestablished the energy flow to the organ and it may start working again.
In Electro Acupuncture Therapy, electrical impulses are passed through a disposable ECG electrode on various points as per your disease condition.
