Acupuncture, a key component of traditional Chinese healthcare, has been practiced for thousands of years. It is based on the theory that a vital energy flow, known as "Qi", circulates through the body, and disruptions in this flow can lead to disease. Acupuncture involves the stimulation of specific points on the body, often through the insertion of thin needles, to restore the balance of Qi and promote health.
The practice of acupuncture has gained widespread acceptance in the Western world since the 1970s, following President Richard Nixon's visit to China. Today, it is not just about inserting needles; it encompasses a variety of techniques to stimulate different anatomical points on the skin. These include moxibustion (the burning of mugwort to stimulate acupuncture points), electroacupuncture, and acupressure.
Acupuncture has been proven effective in treating a variety of conditions, with strong evidence supporting its use for eight specific conditions, including migraines, chronic low back pain, allergic rhinitis, knee osteoarthritis, and post-operative pain.
The history of acupuncture is rich and varied, dating back over 2,000 years. Its origins are deeply rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and it has been a key component of this holistic healthcare system for centuries. Acupuncture has evolved over time, spreading to Japan, Korea, and eventually the Western world. Today, it is recognised globally and is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medicine.
