It is known fact that acupuncture originated from the Chinese people and so, it is an ancient Chinese practice in which needles are strategically placed superficially in the skin to improve health and general well-being. It is a holistic approach to the management of disease as well as the maintenance of health. Acupuncture can work alongside conventional medicine and it is a natural medicine without the use of drugs. Extensive practice and research have shown how effective is acupuncture. Acupuncture has virtually no side effects or risks. Instead, it only offers potential benefits. It is always worth trying acupuncture prior to anything more invasive or drastic.
There are so many beneficial effects of acupuncture but I’m only given a brief discussion about few of those amazing health benefits.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that affects the lung in a progressive manner, which makes it difficult to breathe. The causes of COPD are smoking and exposure to indoor and outdoor pollutants. Recent research indicates that, while there is no cure for COPD, acupuncture effectively alleviates the symptoms by improving the strength and flexibility of the chest muscles. This allows easier breathing for the patient.
