Pericardium 7

PER7 Acupressure Pointessential oil for acupuncture points

Apply the Fire Aroma Acu-Stick® to activate points on the Pericardium Channel. Pericardium 7, or Heart Protector 7, is the source point for the Pericardium channel and energetic functional organ. In western medicine, the pericardium is a thin fibro-elastic sac composed of two layers that separate the heart from the surrounding structures with an outer fibrous layer and an inner double layer of serous membrane. Similarly to the conventional medical function, Chinese medical theory holds that the Pericardium protects the heart. However, this concept is much more dynamic than a simple structure that protects the organ; Chinese medicine holds that the Pericardium protects the Heart from emotional insults as well. More-over, it acts as a gate that opens to allow love in and closes to prevent emotional cruelty from reaching the Heart. If the Pericardium is out of balance the gate can get stuck closed and a person is unable to accept love in to their life. The gate can also get stuck open and a person will be susceptible to those who hurl hateful words at them, and will even infer insults when none were aimed at them. This can lead to serious emotional imbalances or actual heart disease in time if not corrected.
