Among the many methods of traditional Chinese medicine that have passed thetest of time for centuries, acupuncture – acupuncture – is the most widespread throughout the world. Acupuncture in European countries has always been surrounded by a certain veil of secrecy, which often accompanies much of what came to the Western world from the East. The mechanism of the curative action of acupuncture, which is quite understandable from the point of view of the postulates of traditional Chinese medicine, has long been a stumbling block for researchers, whose scientific outlook was formed on different principles.
