Acupuncture originated in China.
China
Acupuncture is first known to have been practiced during the Han Dynasty in ancient China, which lasted from 206 BCE to 220 CE. The earliest texts mentioning acupuncture, such as the "Huangdi Neijing" or the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," were compiled during this period. However, the origins of acupuncture may trace back even earlier, possibly to the Shang Dynasty. The practice has since evolved and become an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine.
