In our body meridian system which western medicine do not approve yet
exists. Meridian is not visible system like digestive system, respiratory system
or endocrine system etc. but meridian controls those visible systems because
it is higher than those system. Therefore without understanding meridian we hardly
say we understand our body.
Meridian system which is revealed by thousands years experience
of clinical is divided by 12 main meridians and 2 extra meridians
as following table.

Meridians divided by Yin and Yang meridians. Yin meridian
controls inside of the body, and yang meridian controls outside
of the body. Lung, Pericardium, Heart, Large Intestine, Triple
Burner and Small Intestine control upper body and Spleen, Liver,
Kidney, Stomach, Gall Bladder, Urinary Bladder control lower body.
All parts of body belongs to one of the meridian channels and are
controled by it.
Diseases are occurred by blocking of energy circulation
of the channels. For instance blocking of stomach channel can make
digestive problem and we may feel heat or cold in the face. And
we may feel pain in knees and it will be arthritis. Then if we
can control energy streaming of stomach channel, those symptoms
will be disappeared.
Magnetic therapy
To make energy streaming in the channels fluently oriental
medicine has been using remedies like massage, acupuncture, cupping,
moxibustion, herbal, magnetic and movement etc. Even each remedies
has its own effect, acupuncture is most useful among them. How
can acupuncture needles control the energy streaming of the body?
Its modality is Push & Pull Treatment as following.
We can control energy streaming of the body by using magnetic
energy. How can we use magnetic energy for treatment. The principle
of magnetic therapy is as folowing.
As the above picture magnetic energy streams from North
to South. Therefore if we put North of magnetic on the body energy
streaming of the channel will be inhibited, on the other hand if
we put South of magnetic on the body energy streaming of the channel
will be stimulated.
One prescription in magnetic therapy is composed by 4 acupuncture
points those are 2 inhibition and 2 stimulation points. Therefore
one prescription of Acupuncture by Constitutional Medicine is composed
by 4 acupuncture needles or magnetic pieces.
Treatment
Acupuncture by Constitution Medicine(ACM) is different from Acupuncture by Traditional
Chinese Medicine(ATM) in regards to their philosophy. Comparing to ATM which
selects acupuncture points by patients symptom, ACM selects by patients' physical
constitution types. However ACM also considers symptom after deciding their types.
Therefore even same disease acupuncture points selected by ACM are much different
from ATM. Following is prescription(acupuncture points) of NP LIA types.
