What is acupuncture? Is it effective?

Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body. These points are thought to correspond to certain organs and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. The goal of acupuncture is to stimulate these points, which then help to balance the body’s energy. Studies have shown that acupuncture can be effective for a range of conditions including pain, anxiety, depression, nausea, and digestive issues.
