When qi moves freely, the thinking goes, the body and mind stay healthy. When it\u2019s blocked or depleted, illness follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea is less exotic than it sounds. Think of qi as your body\u2019s inner workings. Stress and anxiety can make you more likely to get sick, and you tend to feel your best when you\u2019re relaxed and well-rested. Mood and mental health shape physical health, and acupuncture aims to bring qi into balance so the body can find its footing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-acupuncture-works\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Acupuncture Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional Chinese medicine maps qi along a network of channels called meridians. Picture them as rivers winding through the body, with more than 350 acupuncture points dotted along the way. An acupuncturist chooses a handful of those points based on your symptoms and places a needle to each to get the energy moving again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern science has never found physical proof of meridians. Even so, a growing body of research suggests acupuncture does something real. One leading theory points to the nervous system. Each needle nudges nearby nerves and tissue, and the body &#8220;replies&#8221; with better blood flow and a release of its own pain-relieving chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studying acupuncture comes with a built-in challenge, since it\u2019s hard to fake a needle. Researchers often use sham acupuncture, with retractable needles or shallow pricks away from true acupoints, as a placebo. Some trials find little difference between the real and sham versions, and others show clear benefits, particularly for chronic pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-benefits-of-acupuncture\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Acupuncture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"11190\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY4NSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSI+PGFuaW1hdGUgYXR0cmlidXRlTmFtZT0iZmlsbCIgdmFsdWVzPSJyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjEpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KSIgZHVyPSIycyIgcmVwZWF0Q291bnQ9ImluZGVmaW5pdGUiIC8+PC9yZWN0Pjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"Treatment by acupuncture\" class=\"wp-post-11191 wp-image-11190\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1650994330\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"1024 685\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_685,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650994330\/magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_201,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650994330\/magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_514,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650994330\/magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1028,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650994330\/magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_2048,h_1370,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650994330\/magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg?_i=AA 2048w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_803,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650994330\/magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1920,h_1285,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650994330\/magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg?_i=AA 1920w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_964,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650994330\/magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_402,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1650994330\/magazine\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440\/close-up-acupuncture-zilli-iStock-92211440.jpg?_i=AA 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The doctor uses needles for treatment of the patient<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Results differ from patient to patient, and it often takes several sessions to feel a change.
