No one knows how meridians were originally identified.

  • No one knows how meridians were originally identified.

  • Some believe that acupoints originated by practitioners treating tender spots, also called trigger points, using acupressure or acupuncture.

  • The radicular pattern of pain during stimulation of the tender spot may have been interpreted as a meridian.
