The origin of acupuncture can be traced back to ancient China. This practice is said to have originated
around five thousand years back.
Chinese believe that a living body has two forces which are opposing each other all the time. These are
the Yin and Yang. The passive, slow and cold in the body is known as the Yin andthe hot, active and
excited is known as the Yang.
Energy which gets blocked in the body causing diseases, aches and pains is called the “Chi”. This
blocked energy is released using accupuncture. According to the Chinese the energy lines pass through
the twelve meridans of the body which are invisible.
All organs of the body are governed by one of these meridians. By carrying out the accupuncture
procedure on that particular meridian, the disease associated with that point is cured.
