"Inside the Interstitium, the Human Body’s Hidden Pathways
Acupuncture is used to treat conditions as varied as chronic pain, migraines, seasonal allergies and nausea caused by chemotherapy, but some of its actions have never been completely explained. The discovery of the interstitium may help us understand in modern biomedical terms how acupuncture works.
The principles of the practice invoke two circulating elements: chi and blood.
Traditional Chinese medicine describes chi as flowing along one of 12 main tracks, called meridians.
Acupuncturists insert small needles into specific points on the body to enhance the flow of chi.
In a 2002 study, Helene Langevin and Jason Yandow mapped the locations of acupuncture points in the arms to the fascia between and around muscles.
These acupuncture points have since been found to lie within the same areas of connective tissue where fluid flows through the interstitium.A 2019 paper by researchers in China, led by Dr. Hongyi Li, explains how they injected chemical tracers into acupuncture points in the hands and feet of cadavers and used chest compressions to push fluid through the bodies.
Fluorescent photography enabled them to see the tracers traveling toward the heart within interstitial spaces of the arms and legs. Li and colleagues clearly recognized, just as Wells and Theise did, that they had glimpsed evidence of an interstitial circulation system.
If acupuncture points seem to reside within the interstitium, could the meridians run through the interstitium as well?
In 2021, a group of researchers conducted a similar experiment in China on living subjects, injecting dye into acupuncture points in the forearms of 15 volunteers.
In almost all of them, the dye slowly migrated upward along a route corresponding to the pericardium meridian, which passes through the wrist and along the inner arm.(Pericardium is the same meridian stimulated by anti-nausea wrist acupressure devices popular on cruise ships.)"

1 of 2: Before the Needle, There Was the Hand. ✋✨
Most people think of #Acupuncture as the pinnacle of healing, but touch is the oldest medicine.
Long before tools, we instinctively rubbed our sore spots. This act—Acupressure—is the "Ancient Mother" of all we do today.
In my practice, I use modern tools like Biboting Cupping (negative pressure for fascia release) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation or TENS, but my hands remain the "Mapping Tools."
Whether I'm using the rhythmic rocking of Kembiki or leaning my body weight into a meridian, I’m tapping into a 3,000-year-old conversation.
Healing isn't just "fixing" a muscle; it’s listening to the body’s fluid rhythm. 🏮🛡️

I have "degenerative disc disease" in my spine. It's been causing a lot of pain and discomfort on the left side and down my left arm. I had it treated today with injections. Well, I got home and realized, the RIGHT side of my neck hurts now. I'm pretty sure it's because the left side doesn't hurt any more and was drowning out the right side's discomfort.
Anyway, going to try #acupuncture. Any of you have experience with it?

Just had to fill out a form prior to an #acupuncture appointment.
The form asked for details of next of kin.Now I am apprehensive!
Strangely the acupuncture was suggested by my NHS consultant. Hope it works...

How do we make informed health decisions about traditional, complementary & integrative medicine (TCIM)?
This updated interpretive review explores the challenges.
📖 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213422025001118?via%3Dihub🔍 The synthesis of 167 publications, including WHO, EVIPNet, GRADE, and TCIM-specific guidance affirmed the importance of:
1. Transparent decision-making processes with TCIM stakeholders
2. Context-sensitive framing to optimise TCIM relevance
3. Whole-of-evidence approach, including traditional knowledge (TK)
4. Centering equity, including epistemic equityTCIM guideline developers are leading the way with rigorous, inclusive strategies evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM).
By respecting diverse knowledge systems, these innovations offer valuable models for global health policy and guideline development.

During this era, there was widespread racial prejudice against Chinese immigrants. Western doctors attacked Chinese herbalists and dismissed Chinese medicine as quackery, and Chinese doctors were denied medical licenses because medical boards refused to recognize their training, even though practitioners like Dr. Tan completed training at top institutions like the Imperial Medical College of Beijing.
