Project Title The Anatomy of Acupuncture: Rediscovering the anatomical basis of acupuncture meridians and points
Project Description PhD by published works establishing that the original descriptions of acupuncture meridians and points form an anatomical atlas based on direct examination of the human body. This work looks at the original Chinese texts that describe acupuncture meridians and points, and shows, through extensive cadaveric dissection, that they constitute descriptions of the physical body.
