Acupuncture

Definition: 

Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese practice of sticking fine needles into the skin at specific points on the body in order to cure disease or relieve pain. It does this by correcting imbalances in the flow of "qi" through channels known as meridians. Science has had mixed reviews when researching the effects of acupuncture, some studies have seen positive effects while other have shown it is no more then a placebo.
