Aaron Hartman, MD introduces recent research (past few years) suggesting fascia — connective tissues linking to the spinal cord and internal organs — may help explain how acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine produce mind–body effects. The video is an explainer linking anatomy (fascia, nervous system) with TCM concepts.

What if I told you there was some new science actually helping us to understand the connection between our mind and our body? That might explain acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. This is some pretty cool research that's come out in the last couple years looking at the concept of fascia, which are connective tissues, how they're connected with our spinal cord, part of our nervous system, and ultimately how that connects with our internal organs.
