Acupunctur
Acupuncture
is believed to have originated around 100BC in China, around the time The
Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine (Huangdi Neijing) was published,
though there is some evidence it could have been practiced earlier. Over time,
conflicting claims and belief systems emerged about the effect of lunar,
celestial and earthly cycles, yin and yang energies, and a body's
"rhythm" on the effectiveness of treatment. Acupuncture grew and
diminished in popularity in China repeatedly, depending on the country's
political leadership and the favor of rationalism or Western medicine.
Acupuncture spread first to Korea in the 500s AD, then to Japan through medical
missionaries, and then to Europe, starting with France. In the 1900s as it
spread to the United States and Western countries, the spiritual elements of
acupuncture that conflict with Western beliefs were abandoned in favor of
anatomical rationalizations.
