Hello,
The history of Anasthesia starts by the mother of all Anesthesia, the Ether Anesthesia, it was demonstrated back in the 1800s as for the Chinese Medicine, that date backs to a couple thousands years, 2500 years to be a little more exact. But see, if this is an academic thing, my hands are off it, if not, I'm going to write two outstanding, mindblowing pieces of work for you. Ready to roll when you're ready to rock, let's rock n roll! :D
Cheers!
