Acupuncture for the Body

Acupuncture is one of the oldest systems of healing practice. It is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), that aims to restore and maintain health by stimulation of specific points on human body. It is a type of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Acupuncture stimulates the body's ability to heal or resist illnesses by sticking very fine, solid needles into certain points of the body. This probably helps to ---correct imbalances in the body and stimulates the body to secrete chemicals that decrease or eliminate painful sensations.
