Founder & Originator
Prof. Bo Zhiyun 薄智云

Founding principleA clinical system designed to be taught clearly, practiced precisely and developed through continued study.
Bo's Abdominal Acupuncture is a micro-needling system organized around defined points on the abdominal wall. It emphasizes shallow needling, standardized point location and a consistent treatment framework.
The therapy is grounded in the theory of Congenital Meridians — a complete meridian system mapped on the abdomen that regulates the body's fundamental physiological functions.
