In 1994 Prof. Bo was invited by the Shanxi Regional Authority to establish “The Research Center of Abdominal Acupuncture”. It became a chain of the Chinese National health service.

In 1996, he was invited to Beijing (Peking) for the foundation of “the Encefalopatia Center of Abdominal Acupuncture” and the Beijing Training Center.

In Europe, it was first introduced in Italy in the year 2002 with the indispensable and much appreciated help of Dr Sing Hee Lam. In the same year, Dr Lam and Prof. Bo co-organized the first Course of Abdominal Acupuncture at Bari.

It is a painless procedure, unlike conventional techniques which occasionally are poorly tolerated by patients. It is safer, due to superficial needle penetration, much shallower than conventional techniques. It is also fast acting: it can achieve therapeutic results almost instantaneously, and thus, is also know as the “miracle therapy”.

Two decades ago, Prof Bo came across a resistance case of low back pain with sciatica. Both Western and Traditional Conventional Chinese techniques failed to help. Prof. Bo decided to apply needles at the acupoints 气海 (qì h?i, Ren 6) and 关元 (guān yuán, Ren 4), part of the Abdominal Meridian System which has a connection with the meridian of the lumbar regions. The pain disappeared within 5 minutes. This was followed by success in numerous resistance cases, all of whom achieved instant relief. This triggered his calling to dedicating his efforts into the research of the previously understated AMS. Following decades of scrupulous investigation into AMS, in 1991, Prof. Bo perfected the AMS theory, and established the present various protocols for the clinical practice of BMAA.

Acupuncture needles are applied to the AMS, with the acupoint 神阙 (shén què) at its centre. The effect is almost instantaneous. Varying the degree of penetration depth can dramatically alter the therapeutic outcome. This high level of efficacy is explained in Prof. Bo’s paper, published in 1993’s Journal of Beijing Traditinal Chinese Medicine《北京中医》entitled:

ZY Bo. The importance of the acupoint 神阙 (shén què) in the study of the Abdominal Acupuncture. Beij Trad Chin Med , 4: p.13-14. 1993..

Four main points were raised:

This is a network of meridian acupoints governed by the 神阙调控系统, shén què sistem. The system regulates the distribution of Qi and blood to the whole body. By applying acupuncture needles to the anterior abdominal wall around the navel, the system can be under control when it functions abnormally.

The author has discovered that there are three different levels of depth penetration on the abdominal wall to obtain the therapeutic results. Each level of depth penetration has its own functional mechanism and therapeutic effect, thus forming the Abdominal Meridian System, AMS.
1.Superficial level of depth penetration on the wall is located the congenital AMS which develops together with the embryo and it involves the areas of the head, the torso, of the upper and lower limbs. The congenital AMS location is represented by the map of a sacred tortoise;

2.Deep level of depth penetration on the wall is located the acquired AMS which develops together with the organogenesis and it involves all the visceral organs. The location of the acquired AMS is represented by the map of 八卦, Ba Quo ( It is an ancient study of an octagon which represents 8 natural elements in 8 directions to explain the various changeble phenomenons among the visceral organs ).

3.Intermediate level of depth penetration on the wall is located the ordinary classical meridian system known as the经络系统 Jing Luo Sistem, JLS. This sistem involves the connection between the superficial level of the congenital AMS and the acquired AMS on the deep level.
The distinction between the various levels of systems is based on the practical clinic and the therapeutic effect. The different eziopatogenesis intervenes on different levels of systems. The location of the disease changes according to the course of the patology , the duration of the patology or directly to the effect of the therapy and therefore as a result changes the functional level of the system.

BMAA opens a new page in TCM with distint protocols in order to guarantee constant therapeutic results and facilitate the maintaince of scientific ripetitivity in the practical clinic:

This is ample, particularly for the following disturbances or diseases:
