symptoms of meridians

bbsadmin

Dear Sir:

The text dedscribes the traveling route of each meridian and also gives a list of Symptoms, but what does it mean by "symptoms"? Is it symptoms of disorder in the meridian, or just symptoms that can be treated with points on the meridian, even if the meridian itself is not disordered? Most of the Symptoms seem to relate either to the organ itself or the route of the meridian, but not all of them.

For example both the Stomach and Bladder meridians list "mania" as symptoms, but I thought "mania" indicated a problem in the Heart organ. I dont see a connnection of the meridian directly to the heart, but do some of the points indirectly affect the heart? Or am I completely misunderstanding something?

Thank you
