Originating from China, acupuncture is a holistic healing technique that involves the puncturing of needles into certain areas of the human body. These areas are generally referred to as acupuncture points (or acupoints, for short) and are the main focus of acupuncture treatment. Besides the traditional needling technique, acupuncture treatment can also be done through the application of laser light, heat, or pressure at specified acupuncture points. The mode of practice differs from country to country although the underlying principle stays the same. Based on the theory of acupuncture, the flow of energy in the body essential for health follows certain patterns. A disturbance of these energy flows will lead to disease. Acupuncture treatment is administered to restore balance to the flow of energy in the affected acupoints.
