Scientists Discover 3rd Circulation System in Humans That Could Bridge Eastern, Western Medicines

from Facts Matter

Scientists have made a new scientific breakthrough in the study of the human body.Researchers in the United States have discovered something amazing: a third circulatory system within the human body.Alongside the previously known cardiovascular and lymphatic systems, this interstitium system (as it’s being called) appears to allow the different organs of the human body to pass things along to one another.Which in-and-of-itself is an amazing discovery, but it’s made even more exciting by the fact that this newly discovered system maps very well onto the model of the human body that’s been used in traditional Eastern medicine for thousands of years (in practices like acupuncture, for instance).Meaning, this discovery might very well be the missing link between Western and Eastern medicine.Let's go through the details together.
