Classical Chinese acupuncture recognizes and uses more than 70 energetic pathways, which include:<BR/><BR/>The Luo Vessels and their relevance to emotional, hematological and gastrointestinal issues. <BR/>The Eight Extraordinary Vessels and their use with constitutional, reproductive and identity issues. <BR/>The Divergent Meridians and their implication in the treatment of chronic diseases. <BR/>The Sinew Channels and the tendinomuscular terrain. <BR/>While many schools acknowledge the existence of the secondary channels, most neither teach them in-depth nor use them in practice." <BR/>Steve in PAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
