Face Acupuncture is not the known needling technique called facial acupuncture, generally based on questionable or even non-sense maps of points. Of course, face acupuncture too consists of a therapeutic treatment of face points with needles and other means, but it is based on rational observations according to anatomical comparative approach applied to acupuncture research. In the case of the picture above, the large intestine draws around the upper lip, at the nose-wings side and along the neck the same shape of the real organ.

These observations tell acupuncturists a very simple fact: the face and its organs is an equivalent of the umbilicus and umbilical cord for the adult life. During the embryonic life the face develops along with all organs of the body, but organs do not still function because the embryo makes all exchange with the environment trough her/his mother via the umbilical cord, which is fundamentally composed of a circulatory apparatus connected to a filter, the placenta. The umbilical cord furnishes the embryo with the aliments and the oxygen digested and inhaled by the mother. For this reasons we can consider the umbilicus an elementary, provisional face. When a forming individual is living in the maternal womb he/she has no need to harvest fruits and hunt preys, neither to drink and breath, and at the same time must not escape from predators, so the embryo's senses, respiratory and digesting apparatuses are not active. They will be built during pregnancy and begin to be active when a completed baby will be born and sent outside, into the arena of life.

The complex steps of large intestine development, as shown in the picture below, consist of a physiological invagination of the lower tract of the primitive stomach into the embryo's umbilical cord, then a 270° counterclockwise rotation of the cecum bud around the upper mesenteric artery, which gives origin to the definitive large intestine: the same shape of the large intestine acupuncture meridian on the face.

Dr. Stefano Marcelli introduced the anatomical comparative approach to acupuncture research. This fact is a bit curious because the most acupuncturists of the past, who imported the acupuncture to the medicine practice of western countries, were medical doctors, as well as many acupuncture researchers of today are medical doctors, that means persons with basic knowledge to special skills in human anatomy. The complete collection of Dr. Marcelli's anatomical discoveries finds at www.geneticacupuncture.com. The first "scientific "article on two of those observations are published on Medical Acupuncture of February 2013.

The Acupuncture Meridian System (AMS) though has never given science conclusive proofs of physical existence. Nevertheless, the comparative approach has revealed a consistent possibility that the AMS is both a morphogenetic and phylogenetic structure, that's an invisible apparatus of unknown plays a role in the shaping of individual and species bodies animals, or at least of vertebrates.
