Wan Xia, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, dedicated nearly half a century to studying the human body and dividing it into nine different types. He asserts that a person's constitution is like soil: if you take care of the soil, you will also take care of what grows in it, instead of fighting diseases individually.
For millennia, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has emphasized preventive care so that people remain healthy until illness strikes. Today, acupuncture is used in clinics around the world. As Wan notes, its global spread is explained by its simplicity: it is effective.
