Discover the Power of the Meridians

The concept of energy channels, or meridians, is foundational to many alternative therapies, including Acupuncture, Shiatsu, Ayurveda, and Reflexology. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), meridian theory suggests that the body has a network of channels through which a continuous flow of vital energy nourishes and energizes the body's organs and tissues, maintaining health and balance. Congestions or blockages in this flow can lead to various conditions and diseases. Knowledge of the meridians and recognizing the symptoms of congestion that can manifest along their pathways is crucial for understanding the root cause of disease.

What You Will Learn:

🌟 Comprehensive Understanding of the Meridians: Gain an in-depth knowledge of the twelve primary meridian pathways and typical disorders associated with each meridian.
👁️ Visual Assessments: Develop the skills to observe and profile visual assessments of congestion at each meridian's entry and exit points in the feet, face, or hands.
🗣️ Effective Patient Communication: Master the ability to clearly explain the concept of meridians to your patients while formulating insightful questions based on your observations.
📝 Integrative Health Profiling: Learn to dovetail your observations with the information gathered to develop a holistic health profile of your patient.

In today's fast-paced world, many people suffer from ailments that conventional medicine struggles to address comprehensively. By understanding and applying the principles of TCM meridians, you can offer a holistic approach that targets the root of health problems rather than just alleviating symptoms. This course empowers you to unlock the ancient secrets of meridians, providing a pathway to profound healing and well-being.

Inge Dougans qualified as a Reflexologist in Denmark in 1981. She is renowned for incorporating ancient TCM theories and philosophies into modern reflexology.

In 2018, Inge visited the tomb of Ankhmahor in Saqqara, Egypt, to study the pictograph of men working on the feet and hands of other men.

Inge strongly believes that the toes and fingers represent the entry and exit points of the meridians (overlapping with the reflexes).

Vacuflex Concepts is unique in the field of complementary therapies. Using modern technology but without losing the human touch, Vacuflex Concepts maximises the body’s healing potential by combining two of the world’s ancient and powerful methods of holistic practice, reflexology and meridian therapy, in one treatment.

Patients can enjoy the combined benefit of a complete foot reflexology treatment plus the stimulation of all the major meridians in one half-hour session.

Specifically designed felt boots are applied for approximately 6 minutes at a pressure (vacuum) consistent with the patient’s comfort zone. 👣❤️

Once removed, the boots will leave a “map of colours” on the reflexes of the feet for approximately 15-30 seconds. These colours measure the body’s thermal energy and show body heat, or a lack thereof, in the various organs at the time of the treatment. 🔥👀

Silicon suctions pads are applied in sequence to the energy (acupuncture) points along the major meridians, creating a vibration to disperse any molecules sticking together and causing a blockage in the energy flow along the meridian pathway. 💫💪

Visual aids, such as presentation charts, are essential to help therapists engage with their patients and boost their understanding of the underlying principles and theories of the treatment. 👀💪

The Dougans International presentation charts are designed to capture the audience’s attention with clear and precise information and illustrative graphics. 👏

The complete set includes our Reflexology, Meridian, Five Elements and Acupuncture chart.

All charts are presented in a gloss finish and are ideal for framing. A must have for every treatment room. ❤️❤️

Available for purchase via the Dougans International online shopping cart (South Africa only). International sales are handled manually and sent from stock in Europe. US and Canadian customers can purchase the charts (available in four standard sizes) from the Reflexology Association of Canada online store.
