How does the flow of Chi become imbalanced or blocked?
Any noxious stimuli, internal or external, such as overexertion, poor diet, processed foods, contagious diseases, trauma, weather changes (excessive dampness, wind, cold, heat), and even emotional stress, anxiety, over-thinking/worrying all affect the smooth flow of Chi through the meridians, which are channels that course the entire body (head, torso, extremities, organ systems). When chi is blocked, pain and/or disease sets in. Good health depends on the balanced distribution of chi throughout the entire body and organ systems.
