ACUPUNCTURE THEORY: A GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Acupuncture is a sub branch of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into the skin. These acupuncture needles are inserted at specific locations on the body. These locations, when stimulated with an acupuncture needle are said to elicit a therapeutic response.
Acupuncture has been used in China for over 5000 years. In ancient times, acupuncture was not performed using acupuncture needles but with bone fragments. Over the centuries, acupuncture theory and acupuncture practice have been refined and integrated to become a sophisticated modality of health care.
