Acupuncture Therapy: An Ancient Healing Practice

Acupuncture therapy is a traditional Chinese medical practice that has been used for thousands of years to promote health and treat various ailments. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points or meridians. These points are believed to be connected by pathways that facilitate the flow of energy, or "Qi" (pronounced "chee"). When the flow of Qi is disrupted, it can lead to illness or discomfort. Acupuncture aims to restore balance and encourage the body’s natural healing processes.
