Origin of Acupuncture

By the year 1000 acupuncture spread from China to Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other places in East Asia.
Acupuncture gained attention in the United States after Richard Nixon visited China in 1972.
Theory
Meridians are energetic lay lines that are mapped throughout the human body. Their existence is proved boy the observation of the effect of various pressure points. These are recognized acupuncture pressure points.
The Meridian system can be thought of as an energetic distribution network.
