Happy NYR Everyone!
Yes Maxi it would seem as though there are many things still to understand in terms of mechanism of action of acupuncture from a western medical science viewpoint (esp. the psychological aspect), and I think we will have to wait some years for the great minds in the fields of physics and chemistry to imbibe us with a scientific explanation, however within the philosophic framework of Chinese medical science, the practice of this artform is deeply understood, due to its being the longest continually practiced (+2 millennia) and recorded system of medicine on our planet! It is a treasure of the human race and something we can be genuinely proud of!
