About Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that treats patients by insertion of needles in the body. Its proponents variously claim that it relieves pain, treats infertility, treats disease, prevents disease, promotes general health, or can be used for therapeutic purposes.Acupuncture typically incorporates traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as an integral part of its practice and theory. The term “acupuncture” is sometimes used to refer to insertion of needles at points other than traditional ones, or to applying an electric current to needles in acupuncture points to Stimulate.Acupuncture dates back to prehistoric times, with written records from the second century BCE.Different variations of acupuncture are practiced and taught throughout the world.

The practice of acupuncture began with the discovery that the stimulation of specific areas on the skin affects the functioning of certain organs of the body.

It has evolved into a system of medicine that restores and maintains health by the insertion of fine needles into acupuncture points just beneath the body surface. These points are in very specific locations and lie on channels of energy.

Often used as a supplement and the needles may also be stimulated using a minimal electric shock.
