Abdominal Acupuncture was developed in the 1990s by Zhiyun Bo who discovered he could treat his patient's chronic sciatica by needling Ren 4 and Ren 6. He went on to develop the Abdominal Meridian System (AMS) sometimes known as the Magic Turtle in which the whole of the body is represented on the abdomen with the naval at the center.

The abdomen is often considered the "second brain" as it has the largest number of nerve cells second only to the brain. As the abdomen produces approximately 90% of all seratonin, it is responsible for mood, sleep, learning and regulating blood pressure. Abdominal acupuncture has been shown to have an effect on emotional well-being, immunity and or course regulating digestion. It is widely practiced in China and involves very superficial needling.
