Acupuncture

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 backed only by anecdotal evidence until 1976, when{" "} controlled experiments started proving its positive impact. {" "} Today, at least 17 lines of evidence underscore its healing properties.
