The patient with stomach pain hurts the acupuncture point of the leg-Zusanli (S 36), the stomach does not hurt. It was discovered that one point after another, can cure a variety of diseases. People use sharp stones to stimulate acupuncture points to treat diseases.
At that time, there were no words, which were passed on by mouth and ear. (So far, nearly 400 acupuncture points have been found.) And, it has been found that there are acupuncture points and organs After that, twelve meridians and two strange veins were discovered. Now, many people in China use acupuncture to treat diseases every day. This is because acupuncture works quickly. Some people have a cold and nasal congestion. Just one needle is stuck in Hegu (Li 4) at the acupuncture point, and the nose is no longer stuffy. The nose is no longer runny, and the cold is also better.
