The act or process of performing acupuncture; the specific technique of inserting needles into precise body points.
From Latin 'acus' (needle) + 'punctuatio' (from 'pungere,' to pierce) + English '-tion' suffix. This formal noun was created to discuss acupuncture treatment as a process or concept. The '-tion' suffix allows the action to be treated as an abstract noun.
