Human: I've been reading a lot about acupuncture lately. What are the benefits of acupuncture? Assistant: 
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice that involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate certain nerves and help balance energy flow. It has been used for centuries in China as a treatment for various illnesses, including pain, nausea, fatigue, depression, and digestive problems. Studies have shown that it can be effective at relieving symptoms of many conditions, such as chronic pain, arthritis, headaches, and allergies. In addition, research has suggested that acupuncture may also help improve overall health by reducing stress levels, boosting the immune system, and increasing energy levels.
