Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world, as part of traditional Chinese medicine, a whole medical system that originated in China. It is based on the concept that disease results from disruption in the flow of Qi and imbalance in the forces of Yin and Yang.
Literally Acupuncture means inserting needles into the body to stimulate it. This helps treat chronic or acute pain, and many other physical or mental conditions.
The World Health Organization lists over forty diseases that respond to acupuncture therapy. Here is a list of most of the conditions treatable by Acupuncture.
