The therapy as explained in the following pages has its base in the Acupuncture principle. This is an ancient and effective medical therapy followed in the east for many centuries. As to the origin of the therapy it is still shrouded in debate. Though in the later years it found wide acceptability in China and Far East cenutries, its long practice in India cannot be ruled out. Some of the moxibustion and branding techniques followed in Kerala where 'Maramasthans' are activated for the cure of different diseases have its origin in Acupuncture therapy. But at the same time, while Chinese extensively developed it and penetrated the pressure points with needles for stimulation of the latent energy, in India over the course of time, with the development of Ayurveda and with present day extensive stress on Allopathy, these concepts not only did not develop further nor the existing knowledge was given proper importance and due place.

However knowledge, more so health knowledge should not have any boundaries. Hence turning to the store house of knowledge as developed and practiced by our neighbors, we can have a fresh insight into the dynamics this working of a human body as per the concepts of this therapy.
