It’s not effective. It’s bs. I’ve never tried it and I have no intention of ever trying it.
However, with that said. Give it a try. If you feel it works for you, then stick with it. It’s all in the mind.
Acupuncture and its many techniques have been in use by the Chinese for centuries.
The Chinese must find acupuncture effective in treating their aches and pains…how else can you explain its longevity in the annals of Chinese traditional medicine?
its mainly used for pain and depression etc
be cauciuos as it can spread the diseases like hepatitisB,AIDS,if sterilised needles sre not used
otherwise results r good but make long time on some patients
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine can be very effective in treating IBS, Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD. For most of these conditions the herbal medicine along with diet and exercise are going to be very important.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is recognized by the World Health Organization, the National Institutes of Health, the American Medical Association, plus countless other distinguished bodies. Single and double blind studies on Acupuncture have shown it to be an effective medical intervention for many conditions (most of those studies have focused on various pain conditions).
Acupuncture is very safe and in the United States the large majority of acupuncturist use pre-sterilized, one-time use needles which makes the chance of infection negligible.

There is no scientific evidence that says it works. In fact there’s a German study that shows it’s all a placebo effect. However, if you want a placebo than go for it just make sure that you don’t over pay.
