ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Restoring health through time-tested techniques
In the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes, it says "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." Mark Twain has been quoted as shortening that to say: "There is nothing new on earth, only new combinations." That is very true of how we try to revitalize our health, repair damage, or cure ailments of many maladies over time. We continue to deepen the old with newer technologies, newer techniques — some pretty cool stuff, actually! However, we are back to “what has been, will be again, etc. We are finding that things we thought at one time were outdated, have more value than we often give credit for. Our understanding and approach to these rich health restoration techniques, as well as modern medicine evolves over time.
I’m particularly referring to acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutrition. Acupuncture dates back over 3000-6000 years. The earliest detailed record of acupuncture as a structured method of diagnosis and therapy is found in The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, which dates back to approximately 100 BCE. Over time, the practice evolved further. Our understanding of how it works is fairly new. That it works is very old, well respected and has withstood the test of time. There have been many healing modalities introduced throughout history. The ones that didn’t work, fell by the wayside. The ones that did work, continue to this day. Acupuncture is one of them.
