ACUPUNCTURE THERAPY
MIAMI - PALMETTO BAY
Free Consultation
Acupuncture is just one aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture uses filiform, stainless steel one-time-use needles. An acupuncture needle is used to stimulate and activate 1 of 360 possible regular and 40 extra acupuncture points that we have on our bodies. Each of these acupuncture points has multiple health benefits. A skilled acupuncturist is going to create a treatment strategy using a combination of acupuncture points for maximum effect.
History of Acupuncture
The exact date of when Acupuncture began is still debated to this day. The first documentation of an organized system of diagnosis and treatment for acupuncture was The Yellow Emperor’s Classics of Internal Medicine Huang Di Nei Jing from approximately 100 BC. However the mummified body of Ötzi the Iceman was found in 1991 with 15 groups of tattoos.
​
These tattoos were located at points on the body in the exact locations where acupuncture points can be found on the body as well.
Scientists are unable to tell what civilization Ötzi the Iceman comes from, as his carbon dating indicates he died in about 3300 BCE, which predates recorded history. Thus demonstrating that acupuncture is a very ancient form of healing that predates recorded history and is the oldest form of healing on the planet.
