Acupuncture is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body known as acupuncture points. These points are believed to be connected by pathways, or meridians, through which the body’s vital energy, or Qi, flows.
