An acupoint is a specific location on the body used in the practice of acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine technique. These points are believed to correspond to various organs and systems, and stimulating them can help restore balance and promote healing. Acupoints are often located along pathways called meridians, which are thought to carry vital energy, or Qi. Practitioners use needles, pressure, or heat to stimulate these points, aiming to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and improve overall health.
