    Ten Things You Did Not Know About Acupuncture

    June 16, 4:50 PM
     
     

    1- Acupuncture is not just for treating pain.

    2- You don’t have to “believe” in it for it to work.
    Heck, the practitioner does not even need to believe in it for it to work.

    3- Anxiety or depression are not simply psychological problems.

    4- There are no magic cures. But, sometimes it feels that way.

    5- Yes, it is common to feel profoundly relaxed after an acupuncture treatment.

    6- Yes, those herbs do taste as bad as you have heard they do.

    7- You don’t have to be Chinese to practice Chinese medicine.

    8- No, you don’t have to know how to read or speak Chinese to practice acupuncture. But, it does help.

    9- It is excellent for treating chronic conditions, but also good at preventing them in the first place.
    So, get right into your acupuncturist after that car accident!

    10- It makes you look ten years younger, raises your IQ, immunizes you against parking tickets, and makes you more attractive to the opposite sex.
