Traditional acupuncture is a therapeutic practice that originated in ancient China and is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints, to restore the flow of vital energy, or Qi (pronounced "chee"), and promote overall health and well-being.

Acupuncture is an ancient form of medicine that has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments. In recent years, it has gained popularity as an alternative therapy for inducing labour in pregnant women.
