Acupuncture: Is it for you?

Posted on Aug 6th 2007 9:48PM by Martha Edwards
Acupuncture is one of those traditional eastern practices that has gained recognition and popularity over here too. But does it work? Will it benefit you? Acupuncturists use thin needles to manipulate energy in one's body, and it can help relieve pain and many other problems. Though many experts in North America think it works, they can't really explain why, aside from suggesting that the needles might trigger endorphins which help with pain management.

I had acupuncture about a year ago and though I didn't notice any major changes in my body, I did feel better. One of the keys to acupuncture is that you have to have an open mind. If you're convinced it can't work, your body will believe it and it won't work for you. So if you're considering it, I would say it's work a try ... and don't worry, it's doesn't hurt beyond the occasional pinch. For more information, check out this article from eDiets.
