Acupuncture has been used in China for millennia and continues to be used there today as mainstream medicine. Acupuncture works by affecting the body's qi, or energy-flow system. Needles unblock the flow of qi to relieve pain or to affect the energetic function of the organs improving their physical function and relieving symptoms. Both the NIH and WHO have conducted meta-analyses of the scientific literature and released consensus statements discussing the physiological changes that occur during acupuncture as well as conditions for which they deem acupuncture effective. A number of infertility studies with promising results have been performed. Alternative medical therapies, including acupuncture, are widely accepted by the American public.
