АCUPUNCTURE

Part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture has been practiced in China for around 3,500 years. However, it became widely known in the West only in the 1970s, when its use as an alternative to conventional anaesthesia received sensational press coverage. Practitioners insert fine, sterile needles intospecific points on the body as a treatment for disorders ranging from asthma to drug addiction, but most often in the West as a means of pain relief. Now one of the most well-known and most widely accepted Eastern therapies, acupuncture is increasingly practised in a simplified form by Western doctors.
