Acupuncture is a very old healing technique that originates in China, some 5000 years ago. Archeologists found proof in Inner Mongolia of stone acupuncture needles dated 3000 BC. More obvious evident comes from much later, around 2000 years ago.

However, the origins of acupuncture origins in China are unclear. The earliest Chinese medical text that first describes acupuncture is the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine (History of Acupuncture) Huangdi Neijing, which was compiled around 305–204 B.C. However, the Chinese medical texts (Ma-wang-tui graves, 68 BC) do not mention acupuncture so it might not be a widespread technique at the time.

It is beyond the scope of our website to dig too deep in the specific techniques of acupuncture. However, there are some specific problems that acupuncture can help solving.
