What is the role of the acupoints?
There appears to be a relationship among the 400 acupoints, meridians and electrical currents of the body. In the 1970s, Robert Becker, M.D., and Maria Reichmanis, a biophysicist, proved that electrical currents follow along the meridians. They reported that 25% of acupuncture points exist along those scientifically measurable lines and act as amplifiers to boost the minute electrical signals as they travel along the body.
