Correspondent acupunture like Dong's acupunture is widely used clinically upon musculoskeletal diseases chiefly and closely connected meridians theory. But Correspondent acupunture in scale is regardless of meridian pathways and acupoint. It is operated on a part fit for the seat of disease that is one of body for example the left upper limb, right lower limb etc. It is ranked in order of each organ size. Because the ranked part is inclusive of whole body and internal organs in scale, Correspondent acupunture in scale can be applied to every internal disease. As this acupuncture was operated at patients visited to Dong-Gang Oriental Hospital, it was effective in improvement of internal disease clinically and have merits of not operated on a seat of disease directly.
