Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Acupuncture is some kind of alternative medicine based on puncture of thin needles into specified acupuncture points. This points are believed to correspond with specific organs of human body. So puncturing this points should affect this organs and help in some diseases like pains, inflammations and many more.
This specific points localizations are based on ancient Chinese discoveries.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
