"Acupuncture has undergone the gold standard of scientific testing - randomized, controlled, double-blind studies - and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) deems it effective for dozens of conditions, notably pain relief." Aviva Patz, Health Magazine October 2012
In acupuncture practitioners insert needles into the skin at strategic points. It has been used to help people lose weight, quit smoking, boost fertility, lift depression, relieve pain, ease itching, help heal knee and shoulder injuries and treat both migraines and asthma. I know people who have found acupuncture immensely helpful. If interested, make sure the practitioner is licensed. A list of licensed practitioners can be found at: www.nccacom.org
