Human: I've heard that acupuncture is good for a number of conditions. Can someone explain this? Assistant: 
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. The needles are used to stimulate the body’s natural healing process and help relieve pain, stress, and other symptoms associated with various health conditions. It has been used in China for thousands of years as a way to treat many different medical problems. Today, it is commonly practiced by licensed acupuncturists throughout the world.
