There are about 900 points all over the body on the meridians..... pressure is applied on these points to cure illness or pain or to create an anaesthetic effect . . The meridians start from the tip of each finger of the right hand, go all over the body and end in the toes of the right leg and so also on the left side. Now so long as this current of electricity flows properly in the body, the body remains fit and healthy. If for any reason this current does not reach any part of the body, there is malfunctioning of that part accompanied by pain in some cases. If not attended to in time, it may invite illness. So, if the current is properly sent to the affected part, the pain, if any, would subside and the disease or malfunctioning of that part would be cured.
