What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique of inserting and manipulating hair-thin needles into various acupoints (energy/Qi focusing points) located on the meridians throughout the body to achieve a therapeutic effect. Each meridian is connected to certain organs and systems. Stimulating those points triggers the nervous system to release encephalin and endorphin to increase blood flow and reduce inflammation and stress.
