Acupuncture is an important element of traditional
Chinese medicine. It probably began to be used
more than 2500 years ago, its theory was already
well developed at a very early time, as is shown
in the Chinese classics Huang Di Nei Jing (~200
BC) and Nan Jing (~100-200 AD). It was introduced
to neighbouring countries in Asia in the 6th
Century, being readily accepted, and by the early
16th Century it had reached Europe, though through
a series of mistakes in translation, and accounts
of people witnessing the practice in East Asia
some serious errors in its application were made
during experiments in the 18th and 19th century's.
This lead to acupuncture falling out of the
attention of the still developing medicine in
Europe.
Over the past four decades acupuncture has spread
worldwide, which has encouraged its further
development, particularly through studies from
modern medical perspectives and research
methodologies. http://acupuncturebodywork.co.uk
