The Chinese began to understand the true meaning of Acupuncture about 5000 years ago when they realised that there are some of their soldiers wounded by non fatal arrows sometimes recover from the illness which had affected them for many years before. Researchers and physician at that time were amazed by this phenomenon later then observed that there is a principle evolve that by penetrating the skin at certain points, many diseases were apparently spontaneously cured. Later they began to copy the effect of the arrow by puncturing the skin.

After several hundred years, it was notified that different metals possess different effects. In order to cure some diseases it was necessary to produce a stimulating effect and other sedative effect.
