For those who aren’t quite sure what acupuncture is, it’s a form of Chinese medicine in which tiny needles stimulate different points along the body, with the intent of rebalancing the yin, yang, and qui—or, in other words, energies within the body. While some people consider acupuncture pseudoscience, thousands of people point to it as the only technique that has caused them relief from chronic and unbearable conditions. A professional acupuncturist is well versed in the relationship between specific points on your body, and vital systems. Putting a needle in one region could help rebalance an organ or system on the other side of the body. If you have tried every form of modern medicine to alleviate a problem with which you struggle, it may be time to try this technique that your “earthy” friend has been talking about. Here are surprising things acupuncture can fix.
