I've heard that acupuncture is good for a number of conditions. Can someone explain this?

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and reduce pain. It has been used in China for over 5,000 years and is still widely practiced today. Studies have shown that it can help alleviate symptoms associated with a variety of health conditions including chronic pain, depression, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and more. In addition, acupuncture may also improve physical functioning, immune system function, and quality of life.
