The theory behind acupuncture channels
Acupuncture channels are called “jing lou” in the Chinese language. It roughly translates to mean a channel. Acupuncture channels mostly run longitudinally through the body at varying depths. The depth of the acupuncture channel at any specific location is generally a reflection of the anatomy of the body in that area. For example, an acupuncture channel on the more delicate areas of the body such as hands and feet tend to be less deep than the acupuncture channels on larger parts of the body such as the abdomen or upper leg.
