Definition(s)
- Acupuncture, which simply means to puncture with a needle, is an east Asian medical system practiced for thousands of years, resulting in multiple theoretical perspectives and approaches, all of which are grounded in an energy-based, holistic understanding of the body in harmony and disharmony. Acupuncture is widely accepted, practiced, and officially recognized by governments and is one of the most commonly sought medical therapies in the world.
