Alternative health treatments are approaches that do not come under the purview of conventional Western medicine. There is a wide range of practices and procedures grouped under alternative healthcare. These include acupuncture, massage therapy, whole medicine systems, therapeutic touch, reiki, aromatherapy, and physiotherapy. A new field called Integrative Medicine has emerged in the recent years. It integrates conventional medical treatments with alternative approaches to enhance treatment outcomes, limit side effects, and improve life quality.

The angle of the needle can be perpendicular, oblique, or horizontal, while the depth can be 0.2-3cm, depending upon the location.
