Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a gentle and natural way to support your health.
It works by placing very fine, hair-thin needles at specific points on the body.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these points lie on pathways called meridians, where Qi — the body’s vital energy — flows.
Major health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) at the NIH, and the American Medical Association (AMA) agree that acupuncture is safe when performed by a well-trained practitioner using sterile needles.
The exact origins of acupuncture are unclear, but the earliest known medical text to describe it is The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine (Huangdi Neijing), written around 305–204 B.C.
