We would like to share with you our personal view, beliefs and approach about the research that is presented on these pages.
We both value the research of modern science and the many developments that have been discovered.
We also value the depth of wisdom and knowledge of traditional and classical five element acupuncture, which integrates the many aspects of body and mind.
We acknowledge the information gained from research, and we endevaour to use it where appropriate when meeting the needs of an individual who is suffering in health.
We hope later to share more information on the five elements of acupuncture.
Classical Acupuncture
There is absolutely no anatomical or histological evidence what so ever for any channel or meridian in any animal.
Some people look for evidence to support the possibility of finding something to corroborate this aspect of traditional acupuncture.
(2017), Investigation of the phenomenon of Propagated Sensation along the Channels (PSCs) in the upper limb following administration of acupuncture and mock laser
'Conclusion. The findings of the study demonstrated that the PSC phenomenon is not just associated
with needling but can be perceived when using a mock laser.
The sensory components of acupuncture namely, De Qi and PSCs, are complex and difficult to study
as they are influenced by a variety of factors. Further research into the phenomenon is warranted to
investigate the role of PSCs despite the lack of morphological evidence for the existence of the
Channels.'
