Male dummy showing acupuncture meridians & points
Acupuncture dummy. Front view of a male acupuncture dummy showing meridians and acupuncture points. There are twelve main meridians (coloured lines) connected to each other on a continuous circuit around the body. On each meridian are acupuncture points (coloured dots). Acupuncture was developed in China on the theory that Qi (life force) flows along the meridians (channels). Each of the meridians also connects through internal pathways with one of the internal organs. Diseases are considered to be due to interrupted Qi along the meridians. Insertion and twirling of needles at the acupuncture points is believed to restore normal flow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a male acupuncture dummy, providing an intricate display of the body's meridians and acupuncture points. The twelve main meridians are depicted as vibrant colored lines, intricately connected in a continuous circuit around the body. Each meridian is adorned with colored dots representing acupuncture points. Acupuncture, originating from China, operates on the belief that Qi, or life force energy, flows along these channels known as meridians. It is believed that diseases arise when there is an interruption in this vital energy flow. To restore balance and well-being, practitioners insert and twirl needles at specific acupuncture points to stimulate normal Qi circulation. The internal pathways of these meridians also connect with various internal organs within the body. This holistic approach recognizes the interdependence between physical health and energetic balance. As an alternative therapy deeply rooted in Chinese medicine but widely practiced worldwide today, acupuncture offers a complementary approach to conventional medical care. Its effectiveness has gained recognition even within Western medicine circles. This thought-provoking image serves as a visual representation of the complex network through which our life force travels and highlights how acupuncture aims to restore harmony by addressing disruptions along these vital pathways.
