Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice involves gentle insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing and restore balance. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by promoting the flow of energy or “Qi” through pathways called meridians, helping to relieve pain, reduce stress, and support overall wellness.
Acupuncture is widely known for its effectiveness in managing chronic pain, migraines, digestive issues, anxiety, and even fatigue. It’s a holistic therapy that treats the whole person, encouraging the body to heal itself naturally without relying solely on medications or invasive procedures.
At the Naturopathy and Natural Therapies World Conference (NNTWC), acupuncturists, integrative medicine experts, and researchers come together to explore the evolving role of acupuncture in modern healthcare and dynamic discussions focused on enhancing patient outcomes, combining acupuncture with other therapies, and expanding access to this ancient practice worldwide.a
