ACUPUNCTURE Acupuncture is one of the modalities of Oriental medicine. Although what is called acupuncture in the West compromises several different therapies (such as moxibustion and cupping), mostly it consists of the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown to be effective in the treatment of specific health problems. The Chinese have mapped these points for over 2000 years, and there are more than a 1000 known acupoints. In the past three decades, electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence and location of these points.
