The 12 most important acupuncture points

We would like to show you the main 12 acupuncture points that will help you rebalance your energy system.

How acupuncture and acupressure works

Imagine the Acupuncture Points like switches. If one or more of these switches is "turned off", a congestion occurs, which leads to problems in the body.

To "turn on" the switch again, you just have to press the corresponding acupuncture point. You will learn how to do this in the videos. I use the AkuPen for this purpose, because with it you can locate the acupuncture point with millimeter precision due to the pain stimulus.

Of course, the stimulation of the acupuncture point also works with the fingers. Press the acupuncture point between 30 seconds and 1 minute.

The Qi, central concept of TCM, can be understood as subtle substance, which is expressed in the form of breath, air, energy, but also thoughts and feelings.

An emotion is nothing more than energy moving in the body. When we get angry, it rises and makes us boil, so to speak. When we are afraid, the energy freezes and we with it. If we feel comfortable in our skin, the energy flows through us unhindered and lets us relax and come to rest.

Qi is a form of life force that flows through special pathways called meridians. There are 12 main meridians and 2 important special meridians, on which the acupuncture points are located. These meridians are connected with each other, so that the energy can flow, in the optimal case in 24 h once through all meridians.

However, if there is congestion on these meridians due to bad habits or stress, it can lead to physical or psychological complaints. With the help of acupuncture points you have an easy way to release these congestions.
