Meridian Health Analysis

Meridian Health Analysis (MHA) offers an advanced, non-invasive way to detect imbalances in the body—often before symptoms arise. By assessing the energy flow through the body’s meridians, MHA helps identify early signs of inflammation, degeneration, or organ dysfunction, allowing for targeted nutritional, herbal, or homeopathic support. This proactive approach supports better organ function, strengthens the body’s communication systems, and may help prevent future illness and costly medical interventions.

At the core of this technology is the autonomic nervous system, which controls all involuntary processes such as digestion, heartbeat, respiration, and elimination. This system communicates through meridians—pathways first recognized by Chinese medicine over 1,500 years ago. Each of the 12 main meridians begins at the surface of the skin on the hands or feet and connects to specific internal organs. These pathways correspond to acupuncture points, which can be measured to assess energetic health.

Using a small electrical current, the MHA device evaluates whether each meridian is conducting energy at a normal level. Healthy readings average around 50 on the device. Higher readings (60–90) suggest slowed conduction, which may indicate degeneration, while lower readings (30–40) can signal inflammation. For example, irregular readings in the stomach meridian may point to imbalances in the molars, thyroid, stomach, breasts, or ovaries—organs associated with that specific pathway.

In addition to identifying areas of imbalance, the MHA device can recommend specific remedies—including homeopathic, herbal, and nutritional options—to restore proper energy flow. It can also aid in detecting potential allergies or sensitivities that may be affecting the patient’s overall health.

While not widely adopted by conventional medicine, MHA is a powerful tool in holistic and integrative care. It allows practitioners to catch subtle energy shifts and address them before they evolve into more serious, structurally visible issues—supporting a more preventive, personalized, and cost-effective path to wellness.

What Can I Expect During an MHA?

When you visit our Clearwater clinic, you will be seated comfortably in an examination room while the practitioner obtains information about your body by touching specific points on your hands and feet with a pen-like instrument. It is a painless procedure and can be done on adults and children.

Remedy Testing

Once a “non-optimal” point has been found, testing for a remedy to balance that point and bring it back to a normal energy reading is done.

This allows for determining the proper remedy and dosage without the remedy actually being ingested. This process can also be used to test for the presence of contaminants and allergies in the body.

Remedy testing can be used to test any medicine or supplement administered to patients including allopathic, homeopathic, nutritional and herbal medicines.

One will often find that a remedy that balances one point will balance others as well. It would be optimal to find one remedy that would adequately balance all unbalanced points. Nonetheless, the goal is to prescribe as few remedies for the patient as possible.

How Long Does a Meridian Health Analysis Take?

On average, it takes 1 hour, depending on what areas are being look at.

How Do I Prepare For the MHA?

You should eat a high protein meal before coming and have gotten a good night’s rest. You should also make sure you have washed your hands and feet (don’t apply lotion of any kind before the test).

What Can I Expect After the MHA?

Once the test is completed a report will be generated and sent to your LifeWorks practitioner to review. An appointment will then be made for you to meet with the Doctor to review your test results, at which time, you will undergo any indicated medical testing and then you will receive a health program tailored to your specific health needs.

LifeWorks Wellness Center has a highly experienced MHA technician who can do your test professionally and a team of physicians to implement the program it suggests to help you improve your health.
