Simple Health Cures

   Acupuncture points are specific points found on your body which are the focus of acupunture and other forms of acupuncture which we will look at later. Hundreds of acupuncture points are found on the meridians but there are also many other extra acupuncture points that are not linked to any particular meridian as such.

   As we mentioned before in the discussion of the organs, acupunctures view the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine in functional rather than structural terms. what this means is that concepts are more cruial in people diagnosis and treatment than describing anatomy.

   Actually there is little or no anatomical evidence for the existence of these acupuncture points or even meridians. However there is considerable evidence of the effects of acupuncture on the appropriate acupuncture points. Neuro-imaging research has shown that certain acupuncture points have no effects that are not otherwise predictable.
