The word Acupuncture is derived from Latin. In Latin, Acus refers to ‘needle’ and Pungra means ‘to prick’. So, Acupuncture literally means ‘to prick a needle for treatment’! The combination of acupuncture and moxibustion is known in Chinese as Chen Chiu [needle & heat therapy]. Acupuncture treatment is usually carried out by inserting very fine needles at acupuncture points. An Acupuncture point means a specific spot on the body surface where needling is done to get a particular therapeutic response. The practice of cauterizing a part of the ear or body with a hot metal probe is very common in rural India and in many Asian countries even today. Well, this is nothing but a rudimentary form of acupuncture.
