Acupuncture helps the human body deal with pain and illness naturally.
It does so by stimulating the body to release its own natural painkillers
(endorphins) and by improving circulation to areas that need to
be healed. Other effects of acupuncture are to control hormones,
strengthen immune function, reduce stress and emotional trauma,
and restore balance and harmony.
Acupuncture has been examined and endorsed by the World Health
Organization, The National Institute of Health, and government
agencies in many countries. The following links provide more information
