We should also make the distinction that if for some reason, empirical studies show that some of this is somehow beneficial to human health, that would not necessarily mean that it was beneficial for the reasons that practitioners claim. For example, acupuncture could have genuine medical benefits, but it might be for reason completely different than what the Chinese believed. The thing could work, but that doesn’t mean their theories on the human person are correct.

I have no idea haha… I would be curious if it has been empirically verified
