(at around 27 mins) When Strange asks The Ancient One how she can to heal him, she shows him a book with three illustrations where it can be seen the chakras, a map of acupuncture in a human body and a magnetic resonance.-Chakra: it's a word (Hindu for "wheel") to refer a center of energy inside human body. Despite the number of them oscillates depending of the source, it's commonly assumed to be seven chakras running all along the backbone in straight line (as so it's seen in the movie), associated not only with colors but petals of a flower around the energy center: Muladhara, the root chakra, located in the base of the spine (red, 4 petals); Svaddhisthana, the sacral chakra, located below of the belly button (orange, 6 petals); Manipura, the solar plexus chakra, located in the stomach (yellow, 10 petals); Anahata, heart chakra, located in the heart (green, 12 petals); Vishuddha, the throat chakra, located in the neck (light blue; 16 petals); Ajna, third eye chakra, located in the frown (dark blue, 2 petals); and finally Sahasrara, the crown chakra, located in the top of the head (purple or indigo, 1,000 petals).-Acupuncture: it's a method of the traditional Chinese medicine (nicknamed TCM). Considered fraud or quackery by the modern health science and science itself and with no, it appears in history in China about 600 BC such to use and control a life force energy called qi, which is believed to flow from the body's primary organs to the superficial body including skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and joints through channels called meridian. The way to channel qi consists to insert a little needle in specific body points along the meridians to heal diverse injuries, considered by TCM as a disharmony between physical body and spiritual body, in order to correct and restore the balance between them as in other energies named yin (dark), yang (light), xue (blood) and zang-fu (primary organs: heart, liver, kidneys, lungs and spleen). Since 2013 more of 1,500 randomized controlled trials about acupuncture were realized to verify its efficacy, but all the results have been inconclusive.-Magnetic resonance: it's a method to obtain an image of human body from inside to analyze bones and organs, checking it looking for physical traumas and injuries or diseases as cancer. Its origin comes from Wilhelm Röntgen, who discovered x-ray in 1895. Eventually, in late 40s George Ludwig was the first to apply ultrasound for medical purposes, as well as the computed tomographic scanner was conceived by Godfrey Hounsfield in 1967, while the first patient studies about resonance were performed in 1971. As term "magnetic resonance", it appeared by first time in a study published in 1972. Röntgen and Hounsfield were awarded with Nobel Prize in Physics by their investigations: Röntgen in 1901 and Hounsfield in 1979.
