If traditional acupuncture seems very different from what you know, then that is because it is! It was developed by a very different people, people that saw the world like this, and who thought different as well.
That does not mean that we cannot use insights from classical China in the modern world. Indeed to deal with the frustrations and disappointments of Industrial Medicine, we can turn to the basic text book that has inspired over two millennia of doctors: The Huang Di Nei Jing. It is still relevant as ever today, and can be a guide to improve health and treat disease. Differently, but effectively.
