History

Although relatively new to the Western world, acupuncture originated in China -REGION>over 3,000 years ago. Acupuncture and herbal medicine, including theory, practice, diagnosis, and treatments, were recorded in classical Chinese texts about 200 B.C.E., and refined over many centuries. It is the oldest continuously documented medical system still in use to diagnose, treat and prevent illnesses. This system was unified by Mainland China in the 1900's and today is referred to as Traditional Chinese Medicineor TCM. The practices of acupuncture spread throughout Asia, collectively called Oriental Medicine. Acupuncture is not only the oldest medical system in the world but it is the most commonly used. One third of the world's population uses acupuncture as part of their healthcare. Acupuncture is a safe, effective and drug free therapy that can address a wide variety of ailments.

Theory

Acupuncture is based on the theory that health is determined by a balanced flow of Qi (pronounced "chee"), the vital energy present in all living organisms. According to acupuncture theory, Qi is circulated in the body along energy pathways, called meridians. There are over one thousand acu-points within the meridian system that can be stimulated to affect the flow of Qi. Combinations of acupuncture points help correct and rebalance the flow of energy and consequently restore health.

Into the West

Perhaps no other alternative therapy has gained acceptance more quickly than acupuncture. Most Americans had never heard of acupuncture until 1971, when New York Times correspondent James Teston wrote a startling first article about acupuncture following his emergency appendectomy in China -REGION>. Every year acupuncture is gaining in popularity. Americans make over 9 million visits yearly to acupuncturists for ailments as diverse as arthritis, bladder infections, back pain, and morning sickness.
