8 Constitution Medicine, despite being a branch of the traditional oriental medicine, differs widely from the traditional acupuncture in its treatment techniques. Whereas conventional acupuncturists deploy needles on or around the foci of pain, 8 Constitution acupuncturists inject needle in a specially designed device and repeatedly stimulate Meridian points rather than actually inserting needles. This drastically reduces pain and discomfort, as well as the time required for treatment. Every stimulation patterns are deducted in a near mathematical precision on the basis of the patient’s constitution and the root cause of symptoms that he is suffering. A particular stimulation pattern, for instance, is designed to apportion a dose of energy from liver to be expressed through a specific meridian upon an external point on human body, and then to redirect the expressed energy by making lung more susceptible to energy transfer through signaling it via a specific meridian. Yet another stimulation pattern suppresses overflowing energy from intestine, redirects the surplus to the surface, and redistributes it to weaker organs. These subtle stimulation patterns are employed in various combinations to produce effects needed to address the patient’s problem, just as pharmacist combines various chemicals to yield specific compounds for treating specific disease. Such engineering has been made possible by hundreds of thousands of clinical trials and equally many numbers of careful analyses.

Roughly 50% of infertility, for which western medicine cannot locate any particular cause, happens to Pancreatonians. Atopic dermatitis happen largely to Pulmotonian, Multiple-Sclerosis overwhelmingly so to Colotinian, Gastroptosis to Gastrotonian and Sunstroke to Vesicotonian. Essential hypertension is suffered mainly by Heptatonian, and Anxiety is ubiquitous among Cholecystonian. Statistical concentration of the sufferers of these particular illnesses upon a particular constitutional group is no coincidence. 8 Constitution Medicine is particularly suited to address such stubborn, recalcitrant illnesses. 8 Constitution Medicine is not simply a therapeutic medicine. It is a preventive medicine, nay even a roadmap for new lifestyle. I wholeheartedly recommend the reader to assess one’s own constitution and adjust his and his family’s lifestyle in light of this newly acquired, crucial knowledge. The pathway to wellbeing is not too far off – my duty is to point it out for the others. It is your job to tread on it.
