Acupuncture is an ancient modality of healing. Really ancient. In fact, needles made out of stone (ouch!) have been found in Mongolia dating back to 3000ย B.C.ย and archaeologists have discovered a 5000 year old mummy covered in tattoos of the acupuncture points somewhere in the Alps.
Today acupuncturists apply thin filiform needles into specific points on the body to heal a number of ailments and relieve pain based on the principle of moving qi.
