ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a traditional method of healing based on interaction with acupoints along meridian (energy) lines in the body (Latin acu = with a needle). It is a whole body treatment to treat the underlying cause of disease.
Traditional medicine was brought to Japan from China by a Japanese monk 1400 years ago. It was considered the foremost healing method by the Japanese government, declaring that all medical and acupuncture education and training consider acupuncture as important medicine.
