Eight extra meridians - 1 reference result
The eight extraordinary Channels or meridians are a series of pathways in the body categorized in the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The eight extra meridians are also of pivotal importance in the study of Chi Kung, Tai chi chuan and Chinese alchemy.
