Acupuncture is a traditional healing practice that originated in China over 2,000 years ago. It involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is believed to balance the body’s energy flow, or qi, promoting natural healing and overall well-being. Today, it's widely used around the world to treat conditions such as chronic pain, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, and digestive disorders. Acupuncture is considered safe when performed by a qualified practitioner and is often used alongside modern medical treatments.
