How acupuncture works

• The general theory of acupuncture is based on the
  premise that there are patterns of energy flow
  (Qi) through the body that are essential for
  health. Different acupuncture points lie along
  the body's meridians. Stimulating these points
  with acupuncture needles or pressure relieves
  obstructions in the flow of energy, enabling the
  body to heal.
• According to traditional Chinese medical theory,
  acupuncture points are located on meridians
  through which gi vital energy runs.
