Medical acupuncture has been practiced in China for several thousand years and healed billions of people. It is still being used effectively today.
The first formal record of acupuncture was in the book called Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine written in 475-221 BC. Many classical publications passed down from generations of Chinese practitioners has documented the profound theories of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and rich clinical expertise of acupuncture since 221-206 BC.
Acupuncture has become one of the fastest growing forms of complementary and alternative medicine in USA.
The primary benefit of acupuncture is the drug-free nature of the treatment. Acupuncture stimulates or triggers the production of endogenous substances (example: endorphins, cortisol or serotonin) to relieve pain, balance hormones or regulate internal functions. Acupuncture is also considered relatively safe and can directly target diseased regions of the body surface. It can effectively improve local circulation and relieve pain or inflammation. Acupuncture can also balance internal and external relationships to reduce the chance of illness.
