Acupuncture is the practice of insert
slight needles into specific body points to perk
up health and well-being. It instigated in
China more than 2,000 years ago. American practices
of acupuncture
use medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea and
further countries. In the United States, the great-known
kind involves putting hair-thin, metallic needles in
your skin.
Research has shown that acupuncture
lessens nausea and vomiting after surgery and
chemotherapy. It may also relieve pain. Researchers
don't completely understand how acupuncture
works. It may aid the activity of your body's pain-killing
chemicals. It also may affect how you release chemicals
that regulate blood pressure and flow.
