<human>: I've heard a lot of good things about acupuncture but I'm not sure what it's all about. What is it?
<bot>: Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. It has been used for centuries in China, Japan and other Asian countries as an effective way to treat a variety of health conditions. In recent years, it has become more popular in Western countries as an alternative or complementary treatment for pain relief, stress reduction, and overall health improvement.
