Meridian System Application
The meridians are channels or path- ways that comprise a roadmap linking all the Fundamental Substances and organs. These pathways run throughout the body and transport qi {the life force} shen {the spirit}, jing {the essence that nurtures qi and blood} and xue {the blood}. Along the surface of the meridians are the acupoints; each acupoint location has a definite therapeutic action. Working with these points on the surface of the body affects the activity of the substances flowing through the body. Essential oils used in this modality have a distinct resonance with a certain set of acupoints and can help restore normal balance and flow of the life energy {qi}.
How to Administer the Oils
- Apply a few drops of oil to the area of the acupoint(s) for best results. Use of a hot water compress (hot towel) over an acupoint will increase the efficacy of this method, as the heat and water will conduct the oils deeper into the system; however, this is not necessary to use the oils.
- The essential oils are blended in a base of vegetable carrier oil or aloe gel. The base oil provides protection for the skin, reduces the rate of evaporation and enhances penetration through the layers of the skin.
- For best results, apply the oils to the acupoint(s) twice daily. Alternate three days on and three days off until you achieve the desired results.
Other Methods of Application
- Bath: 10 to 15 drops
- Shower: 8 to 10 drops on wet washcloth. Massage: 40 drops to 1/8 oz. carrier oil. Inhalant: 4 drops on a tissue
- Diffuser: 6 to 8 drops [fan only]
- Compress: 8 to 10 drops on a hot or cold damp washcloth.
- Soles of Feet: For sensitive skin, or skin that is prone to allergies, apply oils to the soles of the feet.
