Acupuncture was first discovered in China 2696 through 2598 B.C. Huang
Di The Yellow Emperor who was the third great emperor of China.
Acupuncture was initiated and discovered during the Yellow emperors
reign and the surviving document is the Yellow Emperors Classic of
Internal Medicine translation by Ilza Veith, University of California

The next significant improvement was in 2006 BC through 202 AD during
the Han Dynasty. Several important books were written at that time. The
Huang Ti Nei Ching Yellow Emperors inner classic was produced with
Su-wen (basic questions) and Ling Shu (mysterious pivot) and this last
book brought in moxibustion as part of the acupuncture treatment.
</p>
<p>
During the Western Jin Dynasty (265-316 A.D.), the book Zhen Jiu Jia Y.
Jing was written (Comprehensive Manual of Acupuncture Moxibustion) is
the oldest exiting test of acupuncture and moxibustion only. 368-1640,
The Ming Dynasty, Zhen Jiu Dei Cheng, (Great Compendium of Acupuncture
and Moxibustion) serves as a basis for all modern acupuncture treatment.

<h2>Europe</h2>
<p>
In 1671, PP Harviell, S. J. A jesuit priest who brought acupuncture to
Europe via France wrote Les secrets de la Medicine des Chinois,
Consitant en al Parfaite Connoissance du Pauls.
</p>
<p>
In 1683, Wilen Pen Rhijne, M.D. wrote a book on Dissertatia de
Arthritide. Dr. Rhijne was a Dutch East Indian Company fleet surgeon in
Japan who provided further delineation of acupuncture treatment. Then in
1758, Lorenz Heister, M.D. wrote an article Chiraigeies. He was the
first surgeon to recommend acupuncture. Then in 1820 at La Pities, Hotel
Dieu La Charite acupuncture was taught in France at some of the best
hospitals. With the French leading the way in European acupuncture, the
Dutch and Germans followed in suit as acupuncture received a renaissance
in the 1820's.

<h2>USA</h2>
<p>
In the United states, Franklin Bache M.D. great grandson of Benjamin
Franklin, wrote an article, Case illustrative of remial effects of
acupuncture showing how acupuncture was beneficial in the patient use
in treating the penal system of Philadelphia. In 1916, Sir William Osler
B.T., M.D., FBS wrote in the Principles and Practice of Medicine
recommended treatment for lumbago was acupuncture.
</p>
<p>
However, after the 1920's acupuncture was rarely ever used in the United
2023-08-28 22:06:06 +00:00
States. In 1971, James Reston reporter for the New York Times with
Nixon's Chinese trip developed appendicitis. The Chinese proposed
2023-08-28 22:06:06 +00:00
surgery for his appendectomy using acupuncture anesthesia. His post
operative pain after appendectomy treatment was relieved by acupuncture
at the Anti-Imperialist Hospital in Peking, China.
</p>
<p>
Then in 1971, E. Gray Diamond M.D. wrote in JAMA , Acupuncture
anesthesia, western medicine and Chinese traditional medicine'. He wrote
2023-08-28 22:06:06 +00:00
about the experiences in China. It was met with much skepticism. However
in 1973, the New York Society of acupuncture for physicians and dentists
was formed. This was the first physician and surgeon organization in the
United States dedicated towards acupuncture. In 1973, The AMA council of
Scientific affairs declares acupuncture an experimental medical
procedure.The FDA then required acupuncture equipment to be labeled as
investigative devices as recommended by the AMA. In 1983, The American
Osteopathic Association endorses the use of acupuncture as a part of the
practice of medicine.
</p>
<p>
In 1987, The American Academy of Medical acupuncture was formed as the
first national physician and surgeon organization dedicated to the
advancement of acupuncture within America. In 1991, thirteen states and
the district of Columbia regulate the practice of acupuncture by
physicians and 23 states in the district of Columbia establish licensing
requirements for non-physician acupuncturist. In 1993, 500 million
dollars per year was spent by the United States public on acupuncture
treatment.
</p>
<p>
In 1994, NIH and the FDA, reviewed the investigational designation of
acupuncture needles. In 1996, the FDA reclassifies the acupuncture
needles as Class II medical devices. In 1996, 11 states in the district
of Columbia regulate the practice of acupuncture by physicians. 26
states in the district of Columbia provide licensing regulations for
non-physicians. Non-physicians are presented by various organizations
including the Council Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, the
National Commission for Certification of acupuncturist.
</p>
<p>
The majority of physicians, over 6,000, in the United States have
received training at UCLA and Stanford Schools of Medicine from 1982
thru 2008 under Joseph Helms M.D. Since 2009 the Helms Medical Institute
(HMI) accredited by ACCME continues to teach basic, intermediate and
advance medical acupuncture courses for physicians throughout the USA.
These physicians learn traditional Chinese medicine, French energetic,
five element, neuroanatomic, auricular, scalp and hand acupuncture.
Currently, the other training programs for physicians are at USC,
Harvard and U of Miami.
</p>
<p>
For non-physician (MD, DO, DC) USA training in acupuncture there are 47
campuses of acupuncture colleges/schools within the Council of Colleges
of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. They receive a L. Ac. or a DOM
degree allowing them to take the NCCAOM board examination for licensure
to obtain a license to practice acupuncture and oriental medicine under
their respect state law.
</p>
<p>
Finally, acupuncture treatment can be either macrosystem (body) and
microsystem (hand, ear, scalp). All these types of acupuncture are
performed in the USA today including Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture and
various types of Chinese scalp acupuncture.
