Yuan Shi Dian (YSD), also called Origin Point Medicine, is a form of alternative therapy developed by Dr. Chang Chao-Han (Chang Yao-Hsiang) from Taiwan. It is based on the idea that all diseases stem from two major problems: bodily injury and energy deficiency.

The therapy involves using manual pressure (similar to acupressure) on specific “origin points” of the body to address injuries and stimulate the body’s energy. It also emphasizes lifestyle changes like proper warming (keeping the body warm), diet adjustments, and moderate exercise to enhance recovery. YSD claims to treat a wide range of illnesses without relying on medication or surgery.
