The History of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a therapeutic practice that originated in China over 2,000 years ago. It is based on the precise insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate physiological responses. Early documentation, such as the "Huangdi Neijing" (The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine), outlined the practice and its applications in treating various ailments.
Modern acupuncture has been extensively studied and is recognized in many medical communities worldwide. Research shows it can influence the nervous system, improve blood circulation, and release endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. Today, acupuncture is integrated into healthcare systems as a complementary therapy for pain management, stress relief, and a variety of chronic conditions.
