The Meridian Tooth Chart has its origins in acupuncture. It is believed that each tooth has an inextricable connection to different energy meridians and corresponding organs, body parts, glands, and tissues. Recent evidence suggests that these meridians are related to tissue planes throughout the body, drawing a physiological connection between the health of a tooth and some other physiological ailment.
How Do We Use the Meridian Tooth Chart?
The Meridian Tooth Chart helps us find the connection between your teeth and other physical ailments throughout your body. For instance, if you have been experiencing chronic intestinal problems, we might be able to trace the source of the disease to a dental infection. By addressing the dental issue, we could also alleviate the physical illness.
