What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a form of traditional medicine practiced in China for thousands of years. Eighty percent of the world's population depends upon traditional medicine rather than the Western medicine with which we in America and Europe are familiar. Acupuncture involves the use of needles and/or moxibustion (the application of heat to acupoints) for the prevention and treatment of disease.
