I've heard that acupuncture can help relieve stress. Is this true?

Yes, acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for thousands of years to treat physical and mental health conditions. It involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy known as qi. Acupuncture can be an effective way to reduce stress by reducing physical symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and insomnia, as well as improving emotional wellbeing through relaxation techniques.
