| dc.description.abstract | Since Bhutan is been sandwiched between two giant continents; and concealed by the elevated terrains; the unique therapy with golden needle that prevails only in Bhutan has not really been eminent beyond the boundary. The philosophy is rooted in the Tibetan medicine which dates back during an era of Buddha. Since Chinese and Japanese acupuncture have various origins but Bhutanese acupuncture with golden needle has embedded in the Last treatise (Physi-rgyud) of Bgu-bzi (The four treaties). Some fundamental theory is seen common with the Chinese and Japanese acupuncture; regarding meridians, points and energy flow. We believe that the practice of acupuncture began during the Stone Age when stone knives or sharp edged tools were used to puncture and drain abscesses etc, with the passage of time it gradually made its way to the present queue. While Golden needle therapy is the backbone of the National Traditional Medicine Hospital; it is well administered with the infection controls and increasing in the number of patients annually; it has been vital to disseminate its effectiveness and the procedure involved. The properties of gold escorted with the conceal points, spiritual influence and the heat aids to the healing power. It is now available with the establishment of traditional unit in all twenty dzongkhags and some Basic Health Units. It continued to be developed and codified in texts over the years and gradually became one of the standard therapies used in Bhutan, alongside herbal medicine, Moxibustion, Venesection, Cupping and various hydro therapies. | en_US |
