1. What is Biomeridian / Bioenergetic Testing?
Many modern functional and energy-based medical devices trace their origins back to the pioneering work of Dr. Reinhard Voll, a German physician who expanded upon principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the 1950s, Dr. Voll developed a metering device to measure the electrical properties of acupuncture points. This innovation laid the foundation for Electro Acupuncture according to Voll (EAV) and what is now known as Bioenergetic Testing. Because of his extensive contributions, Dr. Voll is widely recognized as the father of Bioenergetics.
His groundbreaking device enabled practitioners to identify and address sources of energetic imbalance within the body. Today’s advanced instruments—such as the Biomeridian MSAS-Professional—further build on these early concepts through sophisticated computerization, allowing for more precise and comprehensive assessments.
Bioenergetic (Biomeridian) Testing is a non-invasive procedure that evaluates the energetic patterns in your body. By measuring galvanic skin response, it assesses the energy balance at various acupressure (meridian) points on the hands and feet. These points are more electrically conductive than surrounding tissue, and provide a detailed view of the body’s energetic systems.
Meridian points—many of which correspond to acupuncture points described in Traditional Chinese Medicine—serve as key reference markers in Bioenergetic Testing. At each acu-point, electrical impedance is measured and recorded, revealing potential energetic disturbances. The process is entirely non-invasive, as it uses a minute, undetectable electrical current at specific acu-points. Because different organs are linked to particular energy meridians, any disturbance in these channels may reflect underlying health issues. Based on your test results, Bioenergetic and Biomeridian practitioners can offer targeted recommendations to help restore energetic balance.
While Bioenergetic Testing is not used to diagnose or treat disease as defined by conventional medicine, it can detect subtle, early changes and imbalances within the body’s electromagnetic field. These imbalances may signal underlying health issues well before physical symptoms emerge. For example, you might energetically carry a common cold virus in your system without experiencing symptoms, which could manifest only if your immune system becomes compromised.
This testing identifies which body systems may be low in energy or under stress, helping you take preventive action before minor weaknesses develop into illness. It can also suggest nutritional, herbal, or supplement options tailored to restore energetic balance—without side effects or discomfort. No electrical impulses are felt during the test. In addition, Bioenergetic Testing can assess the compatibility and effectiveness of supplements, foods, and treatments, and provides immediate, easy-to-understand results in a printed report.
During a typical session, a standard 60-point functional assessment is performed, with access to a variety of protocols that can be tailored to your individual needs. Bioenergetic Testing can reveal underlying causes of chronic symptoms, sensitivities, or other health concerns, offering valuable insight into your state of wellness and guiding your next steps toward optimal health.
2. How Does Biomeridian / Bioenergetic Testing Work?
Bioenergetic Testing (also known as Biomeridian Testing) uses galvanic skin response measurements to assess the energetic health of your body. This process involves measuring electrical conductivity at specific meridian points (acupuncture points) on the hands and feet with a handheld stylus. These meridian points are significantly more electrically conductive than the surrounding tissue; while normal skin resistance is typically 2–4 million Ohms, resistance at acupuncture points is about 100,000 Ohms.
The computer-based system records the level of electrical resistance at each point, allowing for a precise evaluation of whether an organ or system is energetically balanced. Results are analyzed by advanced software, utilizing technology similar to polygraphs, electrocardiograms (ECG), and electroencephalograms (EEG), all of which measure the body’s electrical activity.
Bioenergetic Testing is completely non-invasive, requiring no piercing or needles, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience while providing valuable insights into your body’s energetic state.
As both a trained Biomeridian Technician and a Registered Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, I bring extensive expertise in meridian channels—allowing me to provide a more comprehensive and integrated approach to your assessment. Based on your test results, I will recommend tailored treatment protocols to support energy balance and enhance your overall well-being.
3. What to Expect During a Biomeridian / Bioenergetic Test
During your initial Bioenergetic examination, sixty different acupoints on your hands and feet will be tested. Each of these points corresponds to specific energy channels and their related organs or systems. The procedure is entirely non-invasive—no needles are involved. Instead, a stylus is gently placed on each point to deliver a very small electrical current, which is painless and not felt as a shock. The readings are instantly recorded and analyzed by a computer system.
The examination typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes in a calm, consultative setting. You can expect to sit comfortably throughout the session, so it’s recommended to wear relaxed clothing.
Although there are hundreds of acu-points on the body, this assessment focuses only on those located on the hands and feet. The process involves gentle contact with the electrodes and is designed to ensure you feel at ease at all times.
Immediately following the assessment, you’ll receive a color-coded chart detailing the balance of your energy channels and any areas of stress. Based on your results, you will also receive personalized recommendations regarding nutrition, supplements, environmental stressors, and lifestyle modifications, helping you better understand your energetic health and ways to support your overall well-being.
