Discussion: What is the underlying explanation of acupuncture's ability to help relieve mental illness?

The mind and body are one harmonious entity. Acupuncture helps maintain the body's energetic balance. It reduces stress, anxiety, and depression and promotes better sleep. Although acupuncture is often seen as belonging only to the physical body, it has a far-reaching effect on the mind and spirit, including mental disorders.
