AcupunctureThe ancient art of acupuncture originates from China but is now practised in many parts of the world as an alternative therapy. Acupuncture involves the insertion of the tips of needles into the
skin at specific points to treat various disorders by stimulating
the nerve impulses. The needles - usually disposable - vary in length, width and shape
of head.
There are various forms of
acupuncture. In China it is a common method of analgesia.
