Acupuncture originated in China more than 2,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in the world. A panel of experts at the National Institutes of Health held that there is clear evidence of the following biological effects of acupuncture: 

• release of endorphins, substances that inhibit pain
• regulation of endocrine function
• increased circulation
• enhanced immune function
