Keiraku Chiryo, Japanese Meridian Therapy, is a traditional form of acupuncture that began in the late 1930s. It is an acupuncture system based on traditional ideas found in the Suwen, Lingshu, and Nanjing. While using minimal theory the system focuses on finding one of several primary patterns based on practical interpretations from the Nanjing to begin treatment.
The diagnosis focuses on palpation of the abdomen and pulses and is guided by traditional descriptions of Qi and the meridians and five-phase and yin-yang thinking. The Suwen and Lingshu inform ideas about how to modify and drain, guided by Nanjing refinements. Through experience, a systematic step-by-step treatment approach has been developed. The needling is VERY gentle and seeks to restore balance in the body so that the patient can start to heal – the goal of the root treatment.
This course has been produced from materials recorded at theICCM Congress. The ICCM arranges a yearly outstanding international TCM gathering held in Tel Aviv during Vernal Equinox in March.
