Acupuncture is a component of traditional Chinese medicine that restores balance to the flow of energy in the body. It involves inserting needles into points which are located along meridians of energy. It is meant to treat the underlying cause of illness and not just treat the symptoms. Acupuncture can be used as an adjunct to conventional treatment in the case of any acute or chronic, degenerative disease. It can also be used preventively to keep one in balance during times of stress on the body and mind.
