Ancient Chinese Medical Practices
The ancient Chinese practice of Gua Sha, dating back to at least 5000 to 3000 BC, involved using stones or coins to scrape the body, promoting healing through capillary hemorrhage and metabolic cell repair. This technique was used for various issues including sunstroke. Fuxi, a mythical figure, is credited with inventing acupuncture needles and bringing acupuncture to the Chinese people.
