This is because the entire working of the therapy and its advantages are very well explained in ancient texts. There was full understanding of the concept among the ancient people. The most important instance is that all this existed hundreds of years back in India than when it appeared in countries like Japan, China, Korea as well as other parts of the world as South America.

It is thought that the terminology and names associated with the healing technique changed in course of time. After sometime, the concept was in hibernation but was revived in the south-east Asian countries. This gave the idea that it originated in the East. As the recurrence of this method was at a time when the world had come close to each other, it spread rapidly. All parts of the world were connected and it created the impression that it came from the East. At this time, the concept had been nearly forgotten in India. But at present it is being extensively used due to its revival in the country as well. People have realized the importance and value of this great technique.
