What better way to relax after a hard day’s work by just lazing on a massage chair and have the pressure applied to the various acupuncture and meridian points in your body. Some people wouldn’t mind paying thousands of dollars to buy an OSIM or OTO massage chair in exchange for the comfort of massage at home.
Is there any standard scientific data to prove the existence of channels better known as meridian points in Chinese acupuncture term? In one of the most interesting experiment, scientist injected radioactive isotopes into the acupuncture points of a human and then track the isotopes movement with radioactive tracer and gamma imaging camera.
To their surprised, the injected isotopes were found to flow in the exact pathways as indicated by the acupuncture meridians. The radioactive isotopes were also injected into random non-acupuncture points and it was observed that the isotopes diffused into random circular patterns without any fix pathways.
How about a homemade massage chair that took 8 years to build using nearby scrap materials? Apparently a Beijing retiree did just that!.
