According to research, acupuncture was practiced some 5000 years ago in China. It can be used to relieve pain and treat some diseases. It is inserted some fine needles onto the skin specifically at the atomic points of the body.

The principle behind this concept is that illnesses occur because there is an imbalance in your life force otherwise known as Qi. It is believed that this flows in 14 channels in the human body known as meridians which branch out to bodily organs and functions. If there is a blockage or obstruction in any of them, this is when you succumb to a disease or an illness.
