Chinese Medicine, which is the practice of acupuncture, moxabustion, cupping, herbal medicine, and qi gong has been used for thousands of years by many cultures to aid the body's natural healing processes. Acupuncture is the practice of placing fine hair thin needles on various body points to facilitate the movement of qi (pronounced chee). Chinese medicine holds the belief that the life force, or qi flows through the body in channels known as meridians. The Chinese medicine practitioner places these fine needles where the flow of qi may be blocked or weak.
