Acupuncture
What is acupuncture?
Over 5,000 years old, acupuncture is one of the branches of traditional Chinese medicine, based on the implantation and manipulation of fine needles at various points on the body for therapeutic purposes. Traditional acupuncture is based on pre-scientific and vitalist concepts, elaborating its diagnostic and therapeutic reasoning on a Taoist energetic vision of man and the universe.
