This book primarily introduces acupressure techniques for alleviating diseases and promoting health, beauty, and wellness. So, what exactly are acupoints? "Acupoints" are technical terms, also known as "meridian points." The World Health Organization believes that the human body has 361 meridian points. Because they are located on the "meridians" on the surface of the body, they are called "meridian points." Acupressure therapy primarily stimulates certain meridian points on the body surface to achieve the purpose of diagnosing and treating diseases of corresponding organs and viscera. There are mainly 14 meridians, which are distributed throughout the body in a network-like pattern, serving as channels for the flow of qi and blood—the vital energy of human life activities. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that 12 of these meridians are connected to the six internal and external viscera and bowels. The "six internal viscera" refer to the heart, lungs, spleen, liver, kidneys, and pericardium, while the "six bowels" refer to the gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder, and triple energizer. Excluding the "pericardium" from the six internal viscera is what people commonly refer to as the "five internal viscera and six bowels." Since the viscera are closely connected to the body surface through meridians, changes in the viscera can reflect on the meridian points on the body surface. Conversely, stimulating certain meridian points on the body surface can regulate the functions of the corresponding viscera, tissues, and organs connected to the meridians. Stimulating an acupoint is essentially the same as stimulating the corresponding viscera, tissues, and organs connected to that point.
