Based on the viewpoint of Oriental medicine, the essence of the human body is considered as a “function.” This function is related to both “body” and “emotion,” which is important for balance. In the clinical situation of acupuncture, acupuncturists directly approach their patients’ “body” by giving them physical stimuli of acupuncture. However, as shown in Chapter II describing a clinical case, they seem to indirectly work on their patients’ “emotion.” In addition, the communication between acupuncturists and their patients also has an influence on the therapeutic effects. Thus, it is important to properly approach both the patients’ “body” and “emotion” in clinical settings.
