The Medic Taoist Chapter 133

Mason said: "Please speak."

"Teacher, however, I still find it difficult to understand the role of meridians you mentioned. Isn't acupuncture just to achieve physiological analgesia through the body's internal mechanism, such as activating the central descending inhibitory channel, increasing endorphins and other analgesic substances, etc.

"I can understand acupoints to some extent. For example, I often use Neiguan acupoint to stop vomiting in pregnant women, but it seems that it doesn't need to be so accurate.

"As for meridians... I'm sorry, I've never seen the meridian phenomenon myself. It has never appeared in my own clinical treatment, not even once. It's hard for me to imagine that it really exists, in what way, and what kind of role it plays."

He knew that, apart from himself, many of his Chinese colleagues were unable to produce the meridian phenomenon in acupuncture. But this did not prevent everyone from acupuncture treatment, so he felt that there was really no need to study it.
