What is the point of acupuncture?
Description
Med Acupunct (2015), Chiang, Poney.
Abstract
Acupuncture skeptics consider The Yellow Emperor's Internal Medicine -- a classic that is important the theory and practice of acupuncture -- as a work based on metaphysics. This claim is one of the factors preventing the mainstream biomedical community from accepting the clinical merit of acupuncture. The goal of this research was to test the hypothesis that needle theory and acupoint locations described in the classics are based on anatomy and physiology, no on metaphysics.
