Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese healing method in which thin needles are inserted into specific points on the body. These points are located along the meridians, the energy pathways within the body. By placing the needles, the goal is to harmonise the flow of energy in the body and restore balance. Acupuncture is used for the treatment of various conditions, including pain, allergies, stress, sleep disorders, and nausea, among others. The exact mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of acupuncture are not fully comprehended, but it is believed to trigger the release of the body’s natural pain-relieving substances. Additionally, acupuncture is thought to influence blood circulation and the immune system.
