What is the origin of acupuncture in China? !

Acupuncture therapy was first seen in Huangdi Neijing published during the Warring States Period. Huangdi Neijing said: "Cold is full of diseases, so moxibustion is appropriate", which refers to moxibustion, in which the shape of nine needles is described in detail and the theory and technology of acupuncture are described in great quantities. Acupuncture has been popular in China for more than two thousand years and spread all over the world. Acupuncture appeared earlier.

In ancient times, people were accidentally hit by some sharp and hard objects, such as stones and thorns, and the accidental pain was relieved. The ancients began to consciously stab some parts of the body with some sharp stones or artificially puncture the body to make it bleed to relieve the pain.

People have mastered the digging and grinding technology, and can make some exquisite stone tools suitable for piercing into the body to treat diseases. This stone tool is the oldest medical tool, Bian Shi. People use "bian Shi" to pierce a certain part of the body to treat diseases.

The imbalance of yin and yang in human body will lead to many diseases, so we should pay attention to balancing yin and yang when preserving health. Acupuncture is the best way to balance yin and yang in the body. Because the acupoints are distributed in different meridians, acupuncture can stimulate the acupoints of different meridians when the yin and yang of the human body are unbalanced, which can balance the yin and yang in the body and reduce the chance of getting sick.

Third, regulate the viscera.

If there is something wrong with human internal organs, it will easily lead to major diseases. However, stimulating specific acupoints through acupuncture can well regulate the function of internal organs, which is also the best way to keep in good health.
