As early as the New Stone Age, people were using Bian Shi, a type of stone, to stimulate scalp areas to treat diseases or problems of the body. The Nei Jing has detailed records stating that the head is the intersection area of many meridians. The six Yang meridians of the hands and feet all travel up to the head. The six Yin meridians connect with the head directly or indirectly.
Many meridians and points are distributed on the head, along with being the collection areas for the Zang Fu, Qi, and blood. Therefore, stimulation of points on the head not only treats diseases of the head but also treats whole-body disease associated with the function and meridian connection. This theory directed clinical research and practice until the 1950s as scalp acupuncture therapy gradually developed. Scalp acupuncture is a further development of traditional Chinese medicine.
