• Asian medicine is based on a theory that the
  human body consists of channels that allow the
  'life force' or 'chi' to circulate. When these
  channels become blocked as the result of stress
  or disease the general health of the person is
  compromised. Acupuncture seeks to unblock these
  channels by sticking thin needles in the affected
  channels thereby allowing the 'chi' to once again
  flow freely.
• Being an important component of traditional
  Chinese medicine, acupuncture is used to actually
  treat any number of diseases throughout Asia.

  changes in pain relief. This study concluded that
  "there is now reasonable evidence that
  acupuncture has a clinically relevant
  pain-relieving effect on certain forms of chronic
  pain.
