Acupuncture, a practice originating in China over 5,000 years ago,
diverges from Western paradigms with its emphasis on holistic patterns
and relationships. The French Jesuits introduced acupuncture to Europe
in the 17th Century, but its reception was lukewarm due to the clash
between Eastern and Western worldviews. The effectiveness of acupuncture
was long backed by anecdotal evidence until 1976 when controlled
experiments started gaining ground. Today, at least 17 lines of evidence
underscore its impact.

Key developments include acupuncture's introduction to Europe by French
Jesuits in the 17th Century, where it struggled due to paradigm
differences. Its anecdotal effectiveness gave way to scientific scrutiny
around 1976, leading to numerous controlled experiments that affirmed
its pain-relieving effects. Acupuncture's basis lies in endorphin
release, with three main endorphin-releasing sites being identified.

<p>
Evidence supporting acupuncture includes experiments with endorphin
blockers, genetic factors, and physiological pathways. Acupuncture's
efficacy stands at approximately 70-80%, with notable outcomes in pain
relief, addiction treatment, gastrointestinal disorders, and more.
Across the world, its integration into modern medical practices gained
traction over time, with many physicians incorporating it into their
treatments.
