Acupuncture has gained mainstream recognition as a tool for managing chronic pain, anxiety, and even fertility issues.
Originating in ancient China, acupuncture involves inserting thin needles at specific body points to stimulate energy flow or "Qi".
Modern science shows it triggers endorphin release, improves blood flow, and modulates nerve responses.
It's used to treat migraines, back pain, arthritis, insomnia, and depression.
Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes. Side effects are minimal but may include slight bruising.
WHO recognizes acupuncture as a complementary therapy for over 100 conditions.
