a bullet hey, that sounds painfull, Several studies have shown that it works for certain kinds of pain; a study last year found that acupuncture beats conventional treatment for chronic lower back pain.
i never tried, but definitely going to try it. :cheers:

But I am still wondering how acupressure cured my environmental allergies?

Essentially through acupuncture and the proper knowledge of chi one could use the process to condition the body, since it is all about channeling and tuning chi through the major areas. :cheers:

No thank you to any more chiropractors for sure!

I just messaged a local acupuncturist about the restless leg, will go depending on the price. If I want to feel pins and needles for free, I can just hide the chocolate from my wife.

acupuncture is great,do you really think a civ as old as the chinese would have been doing it for over 2000 years if it didnt work?

I would think a civilization over 2,000 years old would eventually get basic human rights down as well. They have legitimate doctors still purchasing organs on the black market.
