What is Acupuncture?
TEST Acupuncture is
one of the modalities of Oriental medicine. Although what is
called acupuncture in the West comprises of several different therapies
(such as moxibustion and cupping), mostly it consist of the insertion
of fine needles into the body at specific points shown to be effective
in the treatment of specific health problems. These points have
been mapped by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years, and
there are more than a thousand known acupoints. In the past three
decades, electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence and
location of these points.
How does Acupuncture Work?
Modern Western medicine cannot yet explain how acupuncture
works. 
Traditional
Asian acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese theories of the flow of
qi (a fine, essential substance which nourishes and constructs the
body) through distinct channels that cover the body somewhat like the
nerves and blood vessels. According to this theory, acupuncture
adjusts the flow of qi in the body, leading to areas where it is stuck
and/or superabundant. In this way, acupuncture restores the
harmonious balance of the body and its parts. In Chinese, there
is a saying, “If there is pain, there is no free
flow.” Acupuncture promotes and reestablishes the free flow
of qi.
