Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body. It is believed to stimulate the body’s natural healing process by restoring balance to the body’s energy system. Studies have shown that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for many conditions, including pain and anxiety. However, more research is needed to determine its exact effectiveness.
