The Chinese believe the body is a matrix of electromagnetic energy flowing through circuitry referred to as meridians. Each of the 12 main meridians is related to an organ or function. Super- thin needles are inserted into the skin in certain channels or meridians along which the body's energy, or chi or qi (pronounced "chee"), flows.

The purpose of acupuncture is to restore that balance by unblocking or redirecting the qi. "
