Chinese medicine and acupuncture have long been recognised for their ability to promote overall well-being and address a wide range of health concerns. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in utilising these ancient practices to support mental health.

According to Kaptchuk (2000), acupuncture is rooted in naturalistic theories that are compatible with Confucianism, Taoism, and Western science. This is an effective remedy that includes the insertion of tiny needles into the skin at specific acupuncture points, which are located on the body's meridians.

As a result, many of us have seen some unwanted changes to our physical and mental wellbeing.
