A New Theory on Meridians
The acupuncture meridian system
(AMS) is the key concept of Traditional Chinese Medical Science (TCMS). It is a
natural network formed by the tissue space that connects human viscera and
skin. In this article, a new hypothesis that the AMS is an auxiliary
respiratory system is presented. The AMS collects the CO2 that is produced by
tissue supersession and that cannot be excreted via blood circulation, and
discharges the CO2 through the body's pores, thus preventing a pressure
increase in the internal environment. Thus, local blood circulation will not be
blocked, and the body will remain healthy. In addition to neuroregulation and
humoral regulation, AMS regulation is an important method of physiological
regulation. Furthermore, the pathological principle of the AMS, therapies of
TCMS, and the excellent future of the AMS are discussed.
