Acupuncture originated in China. Books such as Nei Jing or Classic of Internal Medicine, now over two thousand years old, are still in use today.

These books indicate that, even then, it was a developed system of medicine, with detailed theories on the workings of the human being, causes of disease and appropriate treatment.

Over the centuries, a vast literature has been compiled on acupuncture and other aspects of traditional Chinese medicine, such as herbalism, massage, diet and exercise.

Today, this thorough documentation and steady development continues worldwide. Already long established In China, Korea, Japan and other far Eastern countries, acupuncture is now increasingly recognised in the West as a safe and effective form of medicine.
