Abstract:
The analysis of the historical aspects of the development of the meridian system the curative points of which had been discovered in the course of centuries evidently shows the meridians to have been set up more as a methodological and didactic aid rather than as a result of exact research. Classical acupuncture then represents a therapeutic method in terms of Chinese philosophy it is based on, formulated and dependent on the integral idealistic thought of that time in which philosophy, medicine and other natural sciences constitute a closed system.
