The basic concept behind acupuncture is that there are channels and conduits connecting pools of chi energy stored in the body called meridians. These patterns of flow were documented early in the historical text but the actual anatomical location of acupuncture points was consolidated later in Chinese medicinal history. Tiny needles are inserted into the skin and muscle at charted points in the human anatomy. These needles can stay in for anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.
