According to the model of Traditional Chinese Medicine, piercing the needles affects the flow of qi (life energy).

Chinese medicine, in contrast to the Western, hardly developed technical aids. Neither in diagnostics nor in therapeutics found instruments or devices input. An exception is the acupuncture needles, which were developed from lancets. The method is old-fashioned: around 2640 BC, with the discovery of copper, metal needles were used for the first time. Previously, stone needles (quartz fragments) and bones were known. Later, gold and silver needles were added. The needles became finer in the course of their development, their application to the patient less painful - length and caliber changed according to indication and epoch ...

Western medicine recognized the usefulness of the method late. It was not until 1815 that it became known in France as SALANDIERE. In 1825, Louis BERLIOZ (1776-1848) and Julien Germain CLOQUET (1790-1883), after 1863 Consul DABRY, propagated the method before the 2nd WK Consul De MORANT.

Related to Chinese medicine is the TJM, Traditional Japanese Medicine, in which a god of healing occurs.
Ōkuninushi's adventures are described in great detail, especially in Kojiki, while the Nihon shoki mentions briefly that he is using sukunabikona no kami, a kind of meditating god, to heal humanity of disease and protect it from dangerous animals by means of defensive magic. Both deities are worshiped in numerous shrines of Japan; Among other things, there is the Omiwa Shrine in present-day Nara Prefecture. |

"The head is shorn with the men except for a small part at the back of the head, where the hair is carefully cared for and braided into a pigtail." "The stronger and longer the braid is, the more proud the owner is on it, thus barking false hair and black A plait often reaches as far as the ankle of the foot, but it is knocked around the neck during work, but it is lowered on entry into a room, for it would be against the decency and the modesty of appearing with wrapped pigtails "(Ida Pfeiffer, A Woman's Ride Around the World, Volume 2, p.19).

Traditional Japanese medicine is rooted in Chinese medicine, which was probably introduced to Japan around the 5th century AD. The basics were the Chinese classics, but later they took an independent path in Japan, by always seeking the exchange with other, especially Western medical systems. Like TCM, it is based on the pillars of acupuncture, phytotherapy and massage.
Die traditionelle japanische Medizin wurzelt in der chinesischen Medizin, die vermutlich etwa seit dem 5. nachchristlichen Jahrhundert nach Japan eingeführt wurde. Grundlagen waren die chinesischen Klassiker, später schlug man in Japan aber einen eigenständigen Weg ein, indem sie stets auch den Austausch mit anderen, vor allem westlichen Medizinsystemen suchte. Ebenso wie die TCM ruht sie auf den Grundpfeilern von Akupunktur, Phytotherapie und Massage. Auf dem Bild bereitet der chinesische Arzt ein Gemisch vor - nicht der Apotheker! Typisch an dieser Aufnahme ist der Respekt, mit dem die jesuitischen Missionare den fernöstlichen Traditionen begegneten: sie sammelten alle "Kuriositäten", und brachten sie nach Europa mit, wo sie später in den staatlichem Museen Aufnahme fanden ... |

In the conservative oriented Chinese medicine with its thousands of vegetable and animal preparations, mortars still play a special role. "Metal pork mortars, such as those used by European pharmacy for many centuries, are unknown in China, while North China brass mortars are multifarious and can also have a decoration, such as grooves," writes the sinologist and director of the Institute f. History of Medicine at the University of Munich, Paul U. Innocence.

Among the few possible exhibits of Chinese medicine are the vessels in which the pharmacists deliver their medicines. However, most medicines have not been dispensed in such elaborate and precious containers, but, as is still the case today, in paper bags.
