Acupuncture

Acupuncture is based on the theory that all disease is due to some deficiency or congestion of energy flow along a system of meridian lines on the body. Different organs or parts of the body may be treated by stimulation and unblocking of the appropriate acupuncture points on these meridians. Using the same knowledge that practitioners of martial arts use in their combat, acupuncture and similar techniques draw on ki energy to stimulate or calm the energy in one's own or another's body.
