A bit about acupuncture:
Acupuncture is a treatment derived from ancient Chinese medicine in which thin needles are inserted at strategic sites into the body for therapeutic or preventative purposes. It is seen as a form of complementary or alternative medicine. Traditional acupuncture is based on the belief that an energy or life force flows through the body in channels call meridians know as Qi (pronounced chee).
