Acupuncture key component of traditional Chinese medicine TCM involving thin needles inserted into the body at acupuncture points. Stimulation can also be applied with heat, pressure, or laser light to these same points. Most points are on the so called meridians. These are major paths of energy.
There are other paths too, much smaller, which are known by other healing traditions. A human body has 72000 smaller paths called nadis. The nadis can be compared to the energetic nerves and blood vessels.
Then there are areas where the energy forms bigger vortexes, with different qualities. These are called chakras.
Modern acupuncture concentrates only on the points on the meridians. But some healer knows that chakras can be stimulated by different point combinations. They are part of the same energetic system of the body.
