Acupoints are specific locations on the body which can be stimulated by insertion of acupuncture needles. Acupuncture points are located on energy pathways called meridians. These pathways are connected to different organs and parts of the body. Stimulating the specific acupuncture points improves blood and energy (Qi) circulations to the affected areas of the body.
This depends on the specific condition, its severity and if it is an acute or a chronic condition. The practitioner may recommend 3-10 sessions depending on the condition and response after the first treatment. It is an individualized treatment plan so the number of sessions may vary for each individual.
