Meramour's Guide to The Body-Feedback Acupuncture System provides a contemporary approach for integrating classical Chinese medical theory with today's healthcare needs. The Body-Feedback system organizes the fundamentals of acupuncture-including ancient point classifications, the five types of pathogenic heat, meridian palpation techniques, pulse diagnosis, and the natural progression of healing-into a step-by-step system that provides superior treatment results. The Body-Feedback testing techniques, when combined with specific acupuncture point prescriptions and essential oil blends, can identify and correct the root dysfunctions that compromise health.


This textbook utilizes colorful illustrations to depict the ancient Chinese yin-yang, five-element, and six-level medical theories and the controlling and engendering cycles. The Body-Feedback trisections group together related organs and body-systems to understand the origins of disease and the natural healing process. The Body-Feedback balancing, sedation, and tonification acupoint prescriptions employ the five-element controlling cycle to identify the root dysfunction and efficiently restore balance to the meridian system while enhancing organ function. Five-element color-coding throughout the entire book simplifies the learning process.


The Body-Feedback treatment approach consists of three distinct stages: pre-treatment planning, treatment, and post-treatment. During the pre-treatment planning stage, Body-Feedback testing methods allow the client's body to reveal the root dysfunctions that are compromising health and thus guide the treatment approach.
The treatment stage concisely outlines the steps to follow during every treatment based on the client's position (supine or prone) and the meridian system's symmetry or asymmetry. The unique Body-Feedback abdominal, back, scalp, and facial combinations demonstrate how to regulate the nervous system to enhance the acupuncture results. Color-coded anatomical illustrations and charts provide precise needle placement, angle, and depth for the specific five-element root acupoint prescriptions and for the powerful supporting acupoint (extra-vessel, xi-cleft, and luo-connecting) categories. The Body-Feedback treatments can encourage accelerated healing for up to four weeks with a healthy lifestyle.


The post-treatment stage focuses on self-care to create that supportive lifestyle and to enhance healing potential between acupuncture sessions. The post-treatment stage utilizes Body-Feedback testing methods to identify essential oils, nutritional supplements, and herbs that best support meridian balance and organ function based on the root of the client's health challenges.


The Body-Feedback approach is a systemized method that can be used to diagnose and treat meridian and organ pathology with every client. Detailed case studies demonstrate the treatment stages and steps. Meramour's Guide to The Body-Feedback Acupuncture System, based on over a decade of clinical practice, integrates current trends in healthcare with acupuncture to create a new approach to holistic healing.
