Acupuncture is a form of medical treatment that was invented in ancient China. Acupuncturists are doctors who put long, metal needles in your body. Although the needles go into your skin the treatment doesn't hurts.

The doctors put the needles into diferents parts of your body to help cure diferent pains and illness. Acupuncture has helped people with tootaches, headaches, back pains, and many others problem. It can even help people quit smoking.

Many people say that acupuncture makes them feel healthy again. Sometimes acupuncture can help when modern medicine can't. Science can't really explain how it can works so well.  Smile

I am not rude, when I tried to reply to people who had e-mailed me, the site said " there are changes " and I can not get through.

Perhaps some other time?

I can understand why some would not want to try acupuncture, though. Its principles are indeed very difficult to explain and understand. However, as my acupuncturist has pointed out, acupuncture can work with pills and Western medicine.

Another very effective treatment is herbalism. This can cure problems or build up the body so that it keeps many problems away, also improve our sex life.

I've been going through acupuncture for two years now and my husband and I are very pleased with the results! The thing is, though, my acupuncturist always tells us that acupuncture works with the proper diet. For example, in my case, I've been going through acupuncture for a hyper-acidic stomach. The needles help a lot but if I eat foods that trigger acidity (too much meat, dairy, and sugar), the acidity will come back. What I love about alternative medicine is that it  believes that food is medicine and if you abuse your body with food, then your body will fight back.
