The roots of acupuncture create a barrier for scientists: The treatment rests on the belief that two life forces, yin and yang, combine to produce a vital life energy, called ch´i (or qi), that flows through the body along pathways know as meridians, which were charted thousands of years ago. People get sick when these life forces are knocked out of balance, and the acupuncturist job is to nudge the ch´i back into equilibrium.
