HISTORY

The practice of acupuncture is rooted in ancient China. It is mentioned in the Huang-ti Nei-Ching (The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine), a comprehensive documentation of Traditional Chinese Medicine during the time of the Yellow Emperor, Huang-ti, who is said to have ruled from 2697 to 2595 B.C.
 
The Huang-ti Nei-Ching, one of the oldest Chinese medical books still in existence, is used today as one of the main reference books on acupuncture theory. Since the time of the Yellow Emperor, the practice of acupuncture has remained virtually unchanged

ELEMENTS
 
This is a metaphysical order of the universe
 
All phenomena in the macrocosm can be classified in to five metaphysical categories
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water
 
Human body, being a miniature universe consists of the five elements
 
These elements are interconnected, interdependent and influence each other and are always in a state of movement
 
Each element has Yin and Yang energy
 
So health is a balance between the five elements/Yin and Yang
