Originating in China over 5,000 years ago, acupuncture is the art of inserting fine needles at specific points along the body’s meridians to stimulate, disperse and regulate the flow of "chi." To determine acupuncture points, a pulse and tongue diagnosis is required, along with observation and questioning of the patient. Acupuncture is used to relieve symptoms, especially pain relief, as well as to promote general health and well-being. In the U.S., many states license practitioners (a requirement of three years of full-time study minimum is typical), but in other states the term "acupuncturist" may not imply credentials.
