About the Author:

Yves Réquéna, a French physician, specialized in acupuncture during his medical studies starting in 1971. After defending his doctoral thesis in Marseille in 1974, a pioneering work on the subject of acupuncture in gastroenterology, he discovered, a year after graduating in 1975, a treatment to quit smoking with two needles in a single session. He and his colleagues published a scientific experiment involving 1353 controlled tobacco cessation cases in a hospital setting, which became the subject of international publications.

He then taught acupuncture at the Faculty of Medicine in Marseille and focused his research on the concept of "terrains" in acupuncture, constitutions, and temperaments, striving to demonstrate the link between character, emotions, meridian energies, and illnesses.
