Is it believable that personality can be changed using a certain acupuncture point?

Question

Im doing research for a story that Im working on.

Lets say in the context of a manga or fantasy story would this make sense? Not used in the literal common use of medical acupunture.

As if in a good way, not like poking them with a needle that might hurt and make them mad.

BTY acupuncture doesnt hurt in the first place supposedly

This is for a fantasy/manga story Im thinking of creating, hence the asking of whether its plausable

Answer 1

I know that stabbing a sharp point into someone who is completely unsuspecting can cause a sudden, violent, personality shift in the most even-tempered psyche.

Furthermore, they ‘pith’ frogs by inserting a needle into their brain; if this were done t a human, there would be a permanent (and, probably, markedly debilitating) change in their mental and/or emotional state.

Answer 2

No, acupuncture can make you feel better, but not change personality. The concept is to simulate your nerves and energy points, make your blood circulation better. It has nothing to do to alter your "mental" health.

Answer 3

your emotional and certain degree of psychological being is tied to the physical condition, like hormone level. If accupunture affects the hormone, I would suspect it has affect on the mental and pyschological of the person.

The question is to what extend and for how long.

Answer 4

Sure, I've changed someones POINT of view before. And I didn't NEEDLE them either.
