Acupuncture

The Concept: According to traditional Chinese medicine, illnesses occur when your 

body’s energy becomes blocked, instead of flowing smoothly along pathways called 

meridians. Acupuncture reportedly breaks up those blockages, allowing energy to flow and 

healing to occur. 

The Benefits: Acupuncture does a good job of taming headaches, back pain, asthma, 

menstrual cramps and chronic muscle pain, plus it can counteract the nausea and 

vomiting of patients undergoing chemotherapy and surgery. A study conducted at 

Australia’s RMIT University suggests that acupuncture can even reduce allergy flare-ups to 

dust, pet dander and other irritants by 76 percent. “Acupuncture stimulates the release of 

opiates -- powerful pain-killing hormones -- plus it relaxes muscles, and improves immune 

and nervous system function. 

The Procedure: The acupuncturist will insert super-thin needles into key acupuncture 

points on your skin, then leave them in place for several minutes to an hour or more, 

depending upon the problem being treated. Sometimes the needles are twisted or tapped -- 

or mild electrical currents are passed through them -- in order to ramp up their effect. 

A acupuncturists don’t promise this will be pain-free but most people consider it pretty 

gentle. Sessions can cost vary, but they’re often covered by insurance. The number of 

treatments needed depends on how quickly your health hassle disappears.
