<human>: I've heard that acupuncture is a natural way to treat pain. Is this true?
<bot>: Yes, acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that uses fine needles inserted into the skin at specific points on the body. It has been used for thousands of years in China and other Asian countries to treat pain, inflammation, and other conditions. Studies have shown that acupuncture can be effective in reducing pain, but it's not clear exactly how it works.
