On March 26, 1980 he discovered a “alive” reflected point for the first time, which immediately alleviated a pain. From there began a long phase of empirical study that led him to identify Over 600 points reflected on the facethen arranged in maps and diagrams. It is important to know that all this is the result of clinical observation, not of abstract hypotheses ».

Can you talk about the creation of Dien Chan® maps?
“Professor Chau soon understood that To make the method understandable to everyone, it had to view the correspondence between face and body. Thus were born the first maps of reflection: the figure of the “Mr. Yang” and subsequently that of the “Mrs. Yin”.

Today the method includes A real reflexological cartography of the facewhich is taught in the courses ».
