Definition:
In traditional Asian medicine, one of the twelve
invisible lines of energy along the body. Each meridian connects to an
internal organ and to body structures. Certain therapies, such as
acupuncture, acupressure, and shiatsu stimulate specific points along the
meridians to correct the flow of energy along that meridian and influence the
related organ and body structures.
