The history of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine is a long and unique one, with its roots in antiquity. Some mystery surrounds the origins of this medicine, which is believed to be at least 2,500 years old. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine relies on the treatment of an individual’s body, mind, and spirit to help patients achieve greater health and longevity. This holistic approach towards wellness is evident in the numerous volumes of medical literature found over the past hundreds of years. Sun Simiao, one of the great teachers born in the 6th century, wrote about how important it is for a physician to be mentally and physically healthy as a prerequisite for treating patients.
