What Is Electro Meridian Imaging And How Long Has It Been In Use?
Electro Meridian Imaging is a powerful and effective, evaluation, diagnostic
and treatment tool designed to assess the function of the organ systems and the
acupuncture meridian systems of the body. We can now more clearly,
accurately and efficiently diagnose imbalances in organ and meridian function
and perform treatment to bring the body into balance and healing then ever
before.
Many things about the dysfunction of the body can be discovered by detailing
and examining a patient's symptoms, tongue and pulse as is regularly done and
has been traditionally done and as we do in this office. However, what EMI
does is extraordinary and unprecedented by evaluating the level of energy in
each meridian and from left to right side of the body, and allowing for
correction of imbalances.
In 1951 Dr.Yoshio Nakatani M.D., Ph.D developed a procedure of electronic
evaluation of the meridian system by developing a simple device to measure
skin conductance at the Yuan-Source points of the wrist and ankle. In doing so
he added a significant new tool in the arsenal of the practice of acupuncture as
performed throughout the world. Dr. Nakatani named this new method
"Ryodoraku". It was later and presently called Electro-Meridian Imaging (EMI)
in the US.
Why Was This Technological Breakthrough So Important?
When one compares the findings of knowledgeable masters of oriental
medicine using pulse diagnosis, with the findings of EMI, the meridians are
identical in terms of the energetic level of function of the organ systems and
meridians they represent. Such masters of oriental pulse diagnosis are known to
palpate the 12 pulse positions for as long as 15-30 minutes per wrist. A
complete evaluation of symptoms, tongue and pulse takes up to 30 minutes. EMI
evaluation of the 12 Yuan-Source points takes no more than 10 minutes.
EMI evaluation of your Yuan-Source points determines if an individual meridian
is in excess or deficiency of Qi in comparison to the average energetic
measurements all 12 primary meridians. It cannot determine other aspects such
as energetic qualities of dampness, wind, heat, cold or other characteristics that
a practitioner of Oriental Medicine might be able to determine via examination
of symptoms, tongue and pulse. However the ability to measure the strength of
the Qi of each channel and therefore the functioning level of its companion
organ system is nothing less than stunning in the ease of measurement and
what one can do with that knowledge in terms of the effectiveness of treatment.
Let's be clear, it was virtually impossible for anyone to quickly and
comprehensibly measure the quantity of Qi in each of the meridians and
identify which acupuncture points to treat before the development of this
technology. It is likely that if your practitioner does not use this equipment you
are likely not getting all the appropriate treatment you need.
So What Does This Mean In Terms of Treatment And My Health?
The wonderful thing about testing with the EMI equipment is that we get to see
a graphic image on the computer screen or a print out of the strength of each
of the 12 meridians and the state of balance bilaterally. This leads to very simple
acupuncture treatments that restore the proper strength of Qi and the proper
balance between left and right half of each of the 12 meridians. This is
something that cannot be done without this equipment. We can measure your
progress over time with the EMI graphs and by your improving health! Click

If you don’t like needles, we can perform effective treatment by stimulating
points with pressure, light or micro-current.
When one finds a meridian with elevated Qi, the patient will be manifesting
symptoms of dysfunction of that organ system or meridian. The treatment
approach is to use points on that meridian known to deplete Qi. By doing so
this action will bring that organ and channel into its correct functioning level.
When one finds a meridian with deficient Qi, the patient will be manifesting
symptoms of dysfunction of that organ system or meridian due to Qi deficiency.
The treatment approach is to use points on that meridian known to strengthen
Qi. By doing so this action will bring that organ and channel into its correct
functioning level.
In my opinion based on my personal and clinical experience that unless you
have acutely painful or disturbing symptoms such as trauma, this diagnosis and
treatment should be performed first before other kinds of treatments are
performed. The reason being that quantum physics has proven that everything
is energy either subtle or invisible or in substance. Everything is energy,
remember that. Think of it this way, if any component part of your body is
starved for energy it will not function properly and will eventually begin serious
dysfunction leading to serious disease. So, when you are able to reduce energy
to those systems that are hyper-functioning, or increase energy to those that are
hypo-functioning, many symptoms and diseases will vanish when the body re-
regulates itself as it does automatically when energy is flowing at appropriate
levels in all meridians and organs.
One of the most significant discoveries of Dr. Nakatani was the discovery of
split meridians which had never been described in the history of acupuncture.
Because EMI evaluation utilizes measurements of the Yuan-Source points
bilaterally, it often reveals a meridian exhibiting a split in energetic value
between left and right sides of the body. This condition is indicative of a
dysfunction in that organ/meridian system.
Thousands of years ago practitioners identified one of the points on each
meridian as being a Luo (connecting) pathway of two paired meridians such as
Lung/Large Intestine. Dr. Nakatani discovered that by stimulating the Luo point
of the split meridian, a correction can be made.
Are There Any Other Therapeutic Applications of This Technology?
Additionally we can do an evaluation of the Musculo-Tendino meridians for
Orthopedic conditions by using the Tsing (Jing-Well) points of each meridian
that allows us to do appropriate treatments to benefit injury conditions.
You owe it to yourself to make an appointment so that we can make an
evaluation of the status of the energetic system of your meridians and the organ
systems they affect. This can be the thing that can work to improve your health
like nothing else has. Keep in mind it is Qi that fosters growth and healing in
your body. Qi is the energy that powers your immune system and everything
that happens in your body!
