Acupuncture therapy originated in ancient China, near the famous Yellow River Valley (Huang He Valley), in the third century BCE. These acupuncture techniques were applied to the human body as a form of early reformation. Later, by observing the function of matter, it became a special science.

After further research, the scientific basis of acupuncture was also proven. Acupuncture became widespread in China during the Zhou dynasty. A reformist philosophy became one of the main means of treatment at that time. However, even at that time, research on acupuncture could not take full form.
