Acupuncture and meridian therapy
Acupuncture without needles is called meridian therapy.
This therapy is a combination of healing arts. It utilizes stimulation of the feet, hands, ears, and meridian lines to relieve symptoms in respective body parts and organs.
Combined reflexology and meridian therapy sessions aid in stress relief and reduction of muscular tension. The sessions also improve blood circulation. Reflexology and meridian therapy help to unblock energy and nerve pathways that cause physical obstructions.
The non-invasive meridian therapy was developed in Japan and is practiced by many progressive doctors in the West.
