TCM theory developed and expanded mainly from practice and experience. As early as 4000 years ago, the ancient Chinese created primitive medicine in their struggle with nature and diseases. In finding food, they soon understood that some food could relieve or even eliminate some diseases. Thus, this was the origin of development and application of Chinese herbal medicine. In utilizing fire for warmth, they found applying stones or sand wrapped with leather or certain types of bark could relieve some disease.

Gradually they de-veloped the method of using hot compresses and moxibustion. In pro-cess of using stones as production tools, they found that when a por-tion of the body is stabbed, the disorder in another portion of the body can be relieved. Hence, they created the method of using stone or bone needles for treatment. Through these experiences, acupunc-ture was developed, which further turn into the theory of meridians.Two thousand years ago, the earliest known TCM book, "Huangdi Neijing" (Huangdi's Classic of Internal Medicine), was written. The book summarizes the therapeutic experiences and medical theories of that time period.Assimilating achievements of other natural sciences at that time, it comprehensively examines the physiology and pathol-ogy of the body, along with diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases.
