Acupuncture is the insertion of hair-thin needles into the body at specific points, thereby stimulating and activating the body's self-healing mechanisms. For over 5,000 years acupuncture has been widely practiced in the East. Many millions of people in China, Korea, and Japan, as well as in Europe, Russia, Israel, and many other countries use it. More than one million Americans are currently receiving acupuncture each year. In November 1997 a committee of experts at the National Health Institute gave their medical endorsement to the use of acupuncture as the treatment for a variety of conditions.
The goal of acupuncture is to get life energy, or Qi, circulating in the body. Some people experience this as heaviness, mild cramping, or electric sensation. Most patients, however, find an acupuncture treatment profoundly peaceful and relaxing. Those who fear needles can be treated instead with point massage, magnets, electropuncture, vibration, and cupping.
Traditional acupuncture is based on ancient theories in which the Qi, or life energy, is seen as flowing through distinct meridians, or pathways, which cover the human body. Acupuncture regulates and restores the harmonious energetic balance of the body. Researchers have found that acupuncture measurably increases the body's own production of natural painkillers, It also increases blood flow to the areas of the brain that process pain and immune markers. There is no dispute that acupuncture is totally safe and virtually free of side effects.

The popular olive oil "liver flush" is probably undesirable for people with gallstones. Consuming a large amount of olive oil will result in strong contraction of the gallbladder, which may increase the possibility of occluding the bile duct.
