Acupuncture is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which is widely accepted as a treatment for chronic diseases, headaches etc. Acupuncture achieves the desired results by stimulating specific points called acupoints, by pressing of needles. This has the ability to alter biochemical and physiological conditions in the body. The substances released as a result of acupuncture relax the body, and also regulate serotonin in the brain which affects emotional states.

Research has proven that acupuncture can be used with effectiveness in the treatment of a wide range of any physical and mental conditions.

Our body has life-energy pathways or energy-carrying channels called meridians. These meridians have several important places on them called the acupuncture points which are stimulated with the help of needles. Pressing of needles in the acupoints, sends a signal to the body for it to know that it needs to respond. It stimulates our central nervous system, this results in biochemical changes that restores our body's natural healing abilities.

Needles are placed at specific acupuncture points on the body, depending on the patient’s illness.
