Traditional acupuncture is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine – a tried and tested healthcare system that has been practised for thousands of years in China and the Far East. The first known book of Chinese Medicine, The Classic of Internal Medicine of the Yellow Emperor, dates back to between the first century BC and the first century AD. All styles currently practised around the world trace their roots back to this text. Acupuncture is widely considered to be beneficial for a range of illnesses and symptoms, from clearly defined complaints to more general feelings of ill health and low energy.
