“A storm is coming. Look, I can see a cave. Quick, let’s go and shelter in there!”
Over time, the character evolved to include a curved roof and two oblique walls in order to give the idea of a natural shelter or a manmade hideout. In prehistoric times, between 500,000 and 150,000 years ago, caves and hideouts between rocks were home to the first human beings.
Theses hideouts were well structured. At the entrance, they hung animal skins from frames made from branches to form a closure and to allow them to heat up the space inside. At the centre of the cave, there was a fire, which was used to create heat and to cook meat.
Acupuncture has its origins in the Neolithic period. When
people were in pain or felt ill, they instinctively massaged or tapped the part
of their body where they felt pain with a sharp stone and in this way, they
discovered they could alleviate the symptoms or make them disappear altogether.穴 Xué Cave is also the name used for the acupuncture points because they are thought of as “holes” occurring over the Jing Luo passages, the acupuncture meridians.
The Huangdi Neijing, the manual of the Yellow Emperor, is the most ancient existing book of traditional Chinese medicine. It refers to the acupuncture points as 經穴 Jīng xué or 穴道 Xuédào, meaning that these points transport 氣 qi, life energy and the blood that flows around our body, keeping tissue and organs healthy and creating internal harmony and stability.
For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese medicine has concentrated on the harmony between mind, body and spirit. It aims to promote good health by reactivating our energy current or by allowing excess energy to flow away.
