This is the manipulation of the body's "Ch'i energy" based on the ancient Chinese art of healing. Chinese physicians from the Stone Age found that puncturing the body with stone needles in certain areas of the body could help treat different illnesses in the organs of the body. Only a few acupuncture areas of the body were know at this time, whereas today there are around seven hundred known points and metal needles are used.
Acupuncture today is a holistic method of treatment which has been found to work when orthodox treatment has not.
