Acupuncture was developed by the Chinese through the healing art of observation & drawing conclusions about their bodies & the world around them.

While many of the same ideas and philosophies of old are still used today, modern developments in medicine now allow for a more contemporary approach.

Traditional Chinese medicine — specifically acupuncture — is one of the oldest forms of medicine still in use today. There is evidence of stones fashioned like acupuncture needles from over 4,000 years ago, and some of the first hieroglyphs of acupuncture appeared nearly 3,000 years ago, during the Shang Dynasty.
