Acupuncture
Originating in China about 5000 years ago, acupuncture is the oldest continuously practiced medical system in the world. All told, acupuncture is used by nearly one-third of the world as a primary health care system and many more as adjunctive therapy. The fundamental principles of acupuncture are to treat the person as an integrated whole in body, mind and spirit, and to remedy the root cause of illness and disease, not only the symptoms.
