Acupuncture chart on a cast of a head and neck
Acupuncture head. Cast of the head of a Chinese man showing a traditional acupuncture chart. Meridians (lines) and points are mapped out across the skin surface (the meridians relate to channels of energy within the body). Imbalances in the flow of energy are thought to cause pain and disease. The insertion of needles at precise points (marked by dots) at different angles, temperatures and speeds according to the disorder, is thought to stimulate energy flow and may alleviate the problem. Acupuncture may work by inducing the production of endorphins (natural analgesics) in the central nervous system, or by stimulating the nerves which inhibits the original pain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an acupuncture chart meticulously mapped out on a cast of a Chinese man's head and neck. The intricate lines and points represent the meridians, which are channels of energy believed to flow within the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, imbalances in this energy can lead to pain and disease. The dots marked on the chart indicate precise points where needles can be inserted at different angles, temperatures, and speeds depending on the specific disorder being treated. This ancient therapy aims to stimulate the flow of energy and potentially alleviate various health issues. Acupuncture is thought to work by triggering the production of endorphins, natural analgesics that provide pain relief within our central nervous system. Additionally, it may also stimulate nerves that inhibit original pain signals. As a complementary alternative medicine practice, acupuncture offers a holistic approach towards healthcare. Its roots lie in Eastern traditions but have gained recognition worldwide for its potential therapeutic benefits. This fascinating image from Science Photo Library not only highlights the artistry behind acupuncture but also serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous exploration into alternative therapies for better well-being.
