Meridian Stress Assessment / Electrodermal Stress Assessment
Meridian Stress Assessment (MSA) is used to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of a person's energetic health and balance. This process involves measuring electrical conductivity responsive points (meridian points) on the skin; typically on the hands and feet. The location of the test points generally correspond to those of acupressure points. These measurements are recorded to help provide a profile of one's present condition.
According to European medical research, acupressure points are related to the body's organs and organ systems. Major groups of points are connected through channels or meridians. Twenty of these meridians begin or end on the hands and feet.
As one moves toward or away from health, the condition of any particular organ or system can be sensed along the meridians at representative points. As a result, stress associated with the corresponding organs can be surveyed using the indicated points.
After the initial measurements have been taken and recorded, the results can be reviewed. If stress values are above or below equilibrium, the system's extensive computer database will allow consideration of a wide range of possibilities that might help one regain a healthy balance. The MSA allows consideration of thousands of herbal, homeopathic, and nutritional products.
Overall, an MSA provides a completely non-invasive method for gaining valuable information about the body's vital functions. The primary objective of this procedure is to disclose patterns of stress and to provide feedback for use in a program to help restore each system and meridian to an appropriate balance.
