Popis: The aim of this review study is to present an integrated and systematic approach to meridian channels and Ashi acupuncture points based on scientific evidence. We herein establish a framework of basic medical science to explain meridian channels based on the(1) Concepts of Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) approach using physics and physiology: (i) the physical theory of pulse sound and cardiovascular physiology: resonance of harmonic sounds and the specific frequencies arising from heartbeats, which form pathways of different meridian channels to enhance microcirculation; (ii) standing wave hypothesis to explain meridian channels; (iii) Ashi acupuncture or trigger points caused by ischemia due to inappropriate harmonic resonance of standing waves; and (2)the TCM concept strengthened by BIOCERAMIC technology: (i) ‘wave-induced flow characteristics of meridians’; (ii) the ‘Propagated sensation along meridian’ phenomenon; (iii) clinical observations of the different chief complaints of candidates in which sensation was induced along specific meridian channels; (iv) generates ‘biofield’ phenomenon composed of virtual channels of interconnecting ‘feet-hands-ears’ to different internal organs/tissues that support the principles of reflexology. Keywords: BIOCERAMIC resonance, Meridians, Standing waves, Harmonic sound frequencies, Trigger points
