MSM Year 8 Ancient China

The meridians of acupuncture Under this page I have assembled maps of all the meridians of Chinese acupuncture. These include the 12 main meridians plus their inner pathways and the 8 extra meridians.

Acupuncture has a clearly recorded history of about 2,000 years, but some authorities claim that it has been practiced in China for some 4,000 years.

I found this website really helpful
