<h3>I hope this helps...</h3><h3>Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.
</h3><h3>
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.
</h3><h3>
In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.</h3>

Explanation:
The Crucible tells the story of a man named Giles Corey who voluntarily offered a piece of information that would cause people to suspect his wife as a witch. He mentioned that when his wife read a book, he found it hard to pray but hen she stopped reading the book, he could then pray. This made people suspect his wife to be a witch. Through his actions, the author indirectly characerized him as a foolish man.
