EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Chinese acupuncture model, specifically focusing on the foot. The intricate markings, numbers, and labels beautifully illustrate the acupuncture points and lines known as meridians. Acupuncture, an ancient traditional Chinese system of medicine, believes that these meridians serve as channels for the flow of life force or Qi throughout the body. Each meridian is believed to connect internally with one of our vital organs. The concept behind this practice suggests that diseases occur when there are disruptions in the flow of Qi. By inserting needles into specific points on these meridians, it is thought that balance can be restored and ailments can be cured. This image captures not only the therapeutic aspect but also highlights its role as a teaching aid in understanding this alternative form of medicine. The male profile featured in this photograph represents harmony between man and nature through healing practices such as acupuncture. With meticulous labeling and detailed anatomy visible on this manikin's foot, it serves as a visual reminder of how health care extends beyond conventional methods. Science Photo Library has expertly captured every detail in this still life composition - from cutouts to labels - making it an invaluable resource for those seeking knowledge about complementary medicine or exploring traditional Chinese remedies.
