Acupuncture

Acupuncture remains a popular complementary therapy, often used where conventional medicine offers limited solutions.

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical technique used to relieve pain, cure disease, and improve general health. This practice is based on the concept of balancing the body's life force, or qi, which flows through pathways known as meridians.

Acupuncture aims to restore balance between the yin and yang, two opposing forces believed to influence health and disease in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Acupuncture technique that involves inserting thin metal needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain, cure disease, and improve general health. Needle therapy, often synonymous with acupuncture, refers to the use of needles in therapeutic practices. In acupuncture, needles are inserted at precise points along the meridians to stimulate the flow of qi and restore balance. The needles may be manipulated by twisting or twirling, and sometimes connected to a low-voltage electrical current to enhance their effect.

Acupuncture is sometimes used in conjunction with other practices such as moxibustion, which involves burning herbs near the skin to stimulate acupuncture points, and acupressure, which uses manual pressure instead of needles.

While acupuncture is widely used and has shown promise in relieving chronic pain, there are concerns about its safety and efficacy. There is ongoing debate about the best methods to evaluate its effectiveness. Despite these concerns, acupuncture remains a popular complementary therapy, often used where conventional medicine offers limited solutions.
