Ayurvedic Acupuncture is said to be anywhere from 5000-7000 years old. Many experts believe that this form of acupuncture is even older than Chinese acupuncture. It is said that Ayurvedic acupuncture may have been taken to Tibet and then taught in part to the Chinese who ultimately modified it and in its' new form called it their own. Who deserves credit for this great healing art is less important than the recognizing that both exist. Ayurvedic acupuncture is called "Bhedan Karma" which translates as "piercing through therapy"

There are tremendous similarities between the Ayurvedic and Chinese forms of acupuncture. Balance is at the foundation of both. Balance of mind, body, and spirit. Balance of energy whether you speak of Qi or Prana. Stagnation or obstruction of vital energy causes dysfunction of cells, tissues, and organs. It also results in mental and spiritual imbalance.

This form of acupuncture is especially popular among those working on balancing of their chakras and those seriously involved in the study and practice of yoga.
