Acupuncture is a traditional healing practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to balance energy flow (Qi) and promote healing. It is used to treat various conditions such as pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, and fertility concerns. By stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, acupuncture helps restore balance and improve overall well-being. Modern techniques like electro-acupuncture and auricular acupuncture enhance its effectiveness. Acupuncture is generally safe when performed by a trained practitioner, offering relief and improved health for many individuals.
