The 12 meridians •
•
•
Based on Traditional Chinese Theory, energy has to be balanced and flow evenly inside each meridian. Blockages and uneven flow of the energy may result in malfunction of the associate organ and tissue, and in turn cause low healing ability. Therefore, maintaining meridian balance is the major goal of traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese use the term "jing luo" which means, channels, conduit, meridian etc. According to acupuncture, these are the invisible channels through which Qi circulates throughout the body. The acupuncture points (or holes as the Chinese term xue is more aptly translated means) are the locations where the Qi of the channels rises close to the surface of the body. There are 12 main meridians, six of which are yin and six are yang and numerous minor ones, which form a network of energy channels throughout the body. The twelve major meridians correspond to specific human organs: kidneys, liver, spleen, heart, lungs, pericardium, bladder, gall bladder, stomach, small and large intestines, and the triple burner (body temperature regulator). 44
The 12 meridians •
•
Imbalance in your acupuncture meridian system can disrupt your organs, muscles, circulation, and a host of other problems. Identifying meridian system imbalances is often critical to restoring your body’s ability to function. It should be noted; the organs mentioned here have a much broader meaning in TCM then what is typically thought of their functions in western medicine. Since the twelve meridians make up the majority of the Meridian System, they are known as the regular or principal channels.

Report Analysis
70
Deficiency Pattern • Deficiency means shortage, with symptoms of low functioning and decline, excess/hyperactivity means too much, with symptoms of congestion and blockage. • With an energy deficiency, there is a functional decline of the internal organs and a low resistance of the organism against the attack of diseases. It can be seen in chronic diseases, aging, or during the recuperating stage of acute diseases. • The general symptoms of energy deficiency include white or pale complexion, fatigue, weakness, poor spirits, shortness of breath, too tired to talk, low and feeble voice, excessive perspiration, tongue in light colour and weak pulse. • In order to treat it, it is necessary to tone up the energy.
71
Excessive/Hyperactivity Pattern • An excess of energy manifests itself in energy sluggishness or stagnation. • Energy should travel throughout the body without difficulty. However, various factors, including emotional stress, irregular eating, attack of external energies and external injuries, can impact energy circulation negatively and cause energy sluggishness in the chest. • It is therefore necessary to promote the flow of energy and break up energy congestion. • Symptoms of excessive pattern: Clinical symptoms due to the exterior pathogenic factors (mainly refer to the tendency of pressure-oriented disorder), such as inflammation, hypertension, mental pressure, etc. 72
Disorder Pattern • Symptoms of disorders: In the same meridian, one side shows symptoms of excessive pattern, the other side shows symptoms of deficient pattern. Usually it indicates the stagnation of Qi and blood. Prevent cardiovascular disease and hyperosteogeny. 73

Step 2 : Yin/Yang By clicking on the Yin/Yang, there will be a text box showing the analysis of Yin/Yang. Yin/Yang value : normal value is 0.8 -1.2, and perfect value is 1: 1=1, which means the yin and yang energy is balance, showing balance and good state of zang fu organs metabolism The Ying here refer to 6 zang meridian energy value, and yang refer to 6 fu energy value, when both value is close which means body 5 zang creating energy substance (qi, blood, essence(jin), fluid etc) that will be able transport to every part of the body by 6 fu and able to flush any toxin and waste from the body system smoothly.
81
Step 2 : Yin/Yang •
If Yin value is bigger than Yang which means body creating substance more than making use and flushing the waste, therefore the body will develop toxic waste; if is slightly affected, will affect your complexion, when over a long period of time will eventually create possibility of affecting the cells.
82
Step 2 : Yin/Yang •
If Yin value is smaller than Yang which means body making use and flushing the waste is faster and 5 zang will not be able to create enough energy substance for the body, therefore most of the body system tend to be lethargic and weak.

Autonomic Nerve •
•
•
Because modern medicine cannot effectively use the kind of physical measurement method to understand diversified discomfort symptoms due to autonomic nerve disorder, people often ignore its importance or mistake its abnormality due to other factors. Body autonomic nerve function lies in regulating the work of smooth muscle, cardiac muscles, endocrine gland, blood vessel shrinkage, peristalsis of stomach and intestine, and so on, and has close relationship with working function of zang fu, so obstacles of autonomic nerve system function are very possible lead to broad abnormality of body function. There are many factors that can produce disorder of autonomic nerve. Commonly they are divided into internal factor (such as diseases of zang fu, internal secretion disorder) and exterior factor ( such as motional pressure, working pressure, tiredness and so on).

Step 8: Qi Blood Chart • • • • •
Qi is the vital energy that gives us our capacity to move, think, and feel. It protects from illness, and warms the body. Qi is derived from two main sources: the air we breathe, and the food we eat. When the supply of Qi to the body is depleted or blocked, organ function is adversely affected by the inability to transform and transport the "energy" necessary to fight illness and disease. Right and Left Qi and blood can flow smoothly in the internal organs. Zang fu metabolism status and Qi blood flowing status : Balance between Qi (or Chi)and blood of Yin zang and Yang fu shows good metabolic state of body function. The 0 line in the middle is standard and between 10 and minus 10 is normal. Three or more intersection indicates a poor spirit and vulnerable fatigue.

This plan derives from Huangdi Neijing, the most important ancient book of Chinese medicine, and the pulse analysis of Mr. ZHANG-Taisu, the TCM expert of pulse diagnosis. By testing the present excessive or deficient symptoms and the health condition, it can show the ability of external expression and creativity. The higher the energy rate and total rate, the better, indicating an increasingly better external expression and creativity. The good range of energy status would be from 70 and above and the normal range of energy status would be from 50 to 70. Belo 50 means that the energy level tend to be low, tired and feeling stressed.
