  • The Development of Acupuncture  By : Arron Avery
    Acupuncture was developed in China many centuries ago. The Chinese call acupuncture Zhue Jiao, which means "needle heat". The needle regulates an inner force called "Qi", which is responsible for the health of the body. The regulation of Qi using acupuncture can restore physical health, give a release from stress, or improve physical or mental health in other ways. A very healthy person should have Qi energy flowing freely in numerous distinct pathways, and these pathways are like the roads for maintenance crews. Freely flowing energy distributes all the cells need, and take away what waste is produced. This produces not just physical, but also mental, health. If Qi is stopped at some point, there will be some symptoms, often a physical sickness. The acupuncturist will determine where the needles should be placed in order to return the flow to normal, or as close to normal as is possible. This might happen in one treatment, or a series of treatments. Many Chinese get acupuncture treatments regularly in order to stay healthy, to keep their Qi flowing at a nearly ideal level. In several places in China, a practitioner of acupuncture gets paid only as long as their clients remain healthy, not when they get sick.
