Objectives: Therapeutic effect of Yinyang Balancing Appliance of functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) for meridian and neurologic yinyang balance was observed in Iron Deficiency Anemia. Methods: One Iron Deficiency Anemia cases were managed with the Yinyang Balancing Appliance on temporomandibular joint (TMJ), combined with acupuncture. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures and clinical observations. Results: The patients showed positive changes even after the initial treatment and this effext maintained over the follow-up period. Conclusions: Although it is not clear the effect is a sustaining or temporary in its nature, a positive effect was observed and further clinical and biological research on FCST is expected.

Objectives : Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy (FCST) is a new physiologic therapeutics developed in Korea as a meridian yinyang balance approach. The theory of yinyang balance has been at the core of health enhancement approach of meridian and acupuncture medicine ever since its start. Methods : Introductory overview of FCST is presented in relation with meridian yinynag balance theory. Results : As the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and related tissues have direct interconnection with brainstem proprioceptive or motor systems and the face is where all the meridians converge, FCST applies a fine adjustment of the posture of TMJ as a treatment tool for neurologic conditions or meridian imbalances. Conclusions : Highly sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic techniques to adjust various subset aspects of yinyang balance are developed within FCST, which is supposed to be one of major contributions to natural healing.

Objectives: The purpose of this review is to investigate the relationship between the extra meridians and the temporomandibular joint. Methods: Literature review on the eight extra meridians and theoretical considerations were performed with a focus on the relationship with the temporomandibular joint. Results: Extra meridians are crucial in the maintenance of the balance of the whole body, especially the structural balance of the anterior-posterior, left-right, superior-inferior, and interior-exterior regions. The foundation of extra meridians occurs in the lower abdominal area and the innate qi. Conclusions: Extra meridians are important players in the maintenance of the balance and harmony within the body, and may function cooperatively with the temporomandibula joint in its role to maintain the yinyang balance within the body.
