Acupuncture model
Acupuncture model. Model of the human body marked with acupuncture points (labelled dots) and meridians (coloured lines). Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese system of medicine. It supposes that the meridians act as channels for flowing life force or Qi. Each of the meridians is believed to connect through internal pathways to one of the internal organs. Diseases are considered to be due to interruptions in the flow of Qi. Inserting needles into the correct points is thought to restore the flow and cure disease

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an acupuncture model, meticulously marked with acupuncture points and meridians. Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese system of medicine, believes that these meridians serve as channels for the flow of life force or Qi. Each meridian is believed to connect internally to specific organs, and interruptions in the flow of Qi are thought to cause diseases. The art of acupuncture involves inserting needles into precise points on the body to restore the flow and ultimately cure ailments. The image provides a detailed plan or map of the human body, offering insight into this alternative therapy's principles. The male dummy featured in this photograph represents a visual representation used by practitioners to locate and treat specific points along the meridians. Acupuncture has long been recognized as an integral part of Eastern medicine, emphasizing holistic health care approaches. This complementary practice aims at restoring balance within one's body by harmonizing its energy pathways. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable print capturing both the scientific and artistic aspects of acupuncture. It serves as a reminder that ancient healing practices continue to inspire modern medical advancements while highlighting humanity's ongoing quest for well-being through diverse therapeutic methods.
