For instance the liver meridian has 14 points on that meridian. Each point has a different effect on the liver meridian. Some points will support and energize the liver, Another point may clear heat out of the liver. Another point may calm the liver. Liver 3 clears heat and moves the qi, which can be very beneficial for women during PMS time as the liver gets hot. This heat rises to the head and causes irritability. The liver transcends the groin and abdominal area so it also helps to move the stagnant qi out of these areas, thereby moving the stagnant blood as well. It is also the stagnant blood that contributes to the abdominal pressure. This is just one example of how acupuncture works or PMS.
There are hundreds of other treatment applications for various ailments. Any organ deficiency or imbalance can be helped by stimulating certain acupuncture points on that particular meridian.
