Veterinary acupuncture

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the Baihui acupuncture point in humans, which is the midpoint of a line connecting both ears, is anatomically similar to the Dafengmen point in pigs

Veterinary acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine and a pseudoscientific practice of performing acupuncture on animals.[1] The best studies of the effects of animal acupuncture have produced consistently negative results.[2]
