Akupunkturun Tarihçesi

History of Acupuncture: The Thousands of Years Old Art of Healing

Acupuncture has survived to the present day as one of the oldest treatment methods in human history. This ancient method, which began with the first people unconsciously rubbing their temples to relieve headaches, has developed over the centuries and has become a scientific treatment method.

The Origins of Acupuncture and Its Place in Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture has an important place in Chinese medicine and is based on the Yin-Yang principle, which is the Chinese philosophy of life. This philosophy argues that the energy in the human body should be in balance and forms the basis of acupuncture.

One of the first written sources of acupuncture is the work called “Nei Jing” (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine), written by the Chinese Yellow Emperor Huang Ti around 200 BC . This work explains the basic principles and application methods of acupuncture in detail.

The Historical Depths of Acupuncture

Research shows that the origins of acupuncture are not limited to China, but also date back to other ancient civilizations such as the Uyghur Turks. The clothing style and hair-tying style of the figures in the Yellow Emperor’s work provide clues that the Uyghur Turks practiced this method. This reveals that acupuncture is not just a Chinese medicine, but a common heritage of humanity.

The Evolution of Acupuncture

• Stone Age: Acupuncture was first applied with sharp stones (Bian stone). This method aimed to regulate the flow of energy by stimulating painful points in the human body.

• Mining Age: With the advancement of technology, stones were replaced by metal needles and treatment methods became more sensitive.

• Modern Period: Today, acupuncture is applied with thin metal needles and is supported by scientific research. This method, which is widely used around the world, is an effective supportive method in the treatment of chronic pain, stress, depression and many other ailments.

Scientific Basis of Acupuncture

Modern medicine explains the principle of acupuncture in providing energy (qi) balance in the body with its effects on the nervous system and blood circulation. In particular:

• Increasing the release of endorphins ,

• Improving blood circulation ,

• Mechanisms such as reducing pain by stimulating nerve endings scientifically prove the effect of acupuncture.
