The practice of acupuncture involves inserting micro-needles into precisely mapped points on the body to cause biochemical changes that ease pain, emotional symptoms, and issues with body systems, such as digestion.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed acupuncture for treating more than 40 conditions, including addictions, allergies, depression, digestive disorders, headaches, menstrual disorders, sleeping problems, pain, and stress. The website Evidence-Based Acupuncture lists dozens of studies showing the positive effect of acupuncture, including anxiety, chronic low back pain, headaches, arthritis, allergies, nausea, and more, and includes downloadable summaries of the clinical trials and systemic reviews.
