People always like to ask quetions about acupuncture like when it began, who discovered or created it. In textbooks or chinese folklore, you would see some pure empirical explanations like healing after accidental human body hits, or trigger points-like sore spots came and gone with some illness. But how to connect dots to a line(merridian), link lines to inside organs, that might or must need a lot helps from anatomical knowledge, philosophy, and Qigong. We all use very fine disposable acupuncture needles, and some patients complained about their friends who would be too hard to be convinced that acupuncture is a very relaxing procedure.
