Acupuncture is a very ancient wisdom of understading the energy dynamics of the body. The use of this science is found in every civilization. It existed even when metal was not found. Thus in that period sharp edged stones, icicles made of snow and small arrows were used by people of South Africa, Brazil and Eskimo people.
Its long practice in India cannot be ruled out. Some of he Moxibustion and branding techniques followed in Kerala where `Marmasthans' are activated for the cure of different diseases have its origin in Acupuncture theary.
In Indian mythology it was seen that Bhisma Pitamaha for long days was lying in a bed of arrows awaiting his death. This also can be traced to knowledge of the energy points in the body.
In later years we find this science found great acceptibility in China and far east countires. It was chinese who extensively later developed it penetrating the pressure points with needles.
The earliest major written account regarding the practice of acupuncture is the Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic) who is believed to have lived about 2697- 2596 B.C.
Between the Han dynasty (from 206 B.C. to 200 A.D.) and the Ming Dynasty (from 1368 to 1644 A.D.), acupuncture practice was refined.
There was a flurry of experimentation Europe in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. This accelerated in the last decades as it was brought to the United States.
Today Acupuncture is accepted by many western countries. It is systamatically taught in several universities. In Russia the kirlian photographs of the energy field around the body has shown a new pathway in explaining acupuncture.
Thus Acupuncture science has proved to be a natural, proven, efficient way of maintaing health and treating various disorders.
Treatment involves redirecting the energy of the body. A simple strain or sprain may need nothing more than “dispersion” with needles around the area of pain. Musculoskeletal pain of long-standing duration may need multiple needles placed along a principal meridian to encourage a more normal flow of energy. Psychosomatic may respond to the needling of several front or back mu or sho points.
