Don't trust it, try it. If it works for you, it works. If not, try somewhere else. I've tried ayurveda, which even doesn't use needles, just some weird hippie waving with hands above me, not even touching me, and nothing else has give me so much energy back in a period when my energy was really low. I've tried acupuncture then as well, and various other alternative techniques. Most of them were very relaxing, like a day in a spa, and a day later the effect was gone. I've tried to analyse what the therapist did, but couldn't explain it. The only - off the chart - explanation is that everything is energy, and that we have energy outside our body boundaries that can influence our well being. I'm pretty down to earth. I've met enough people who worship these alternative methods, and I don't. But if it works, it works, and I will use it. So maybe this is not promoting acupuncture, but I'm just saying that these alternative methods can do stuff to me - but maybe not to you - and modern medicine cannot explain it. Acupuncture may work like this in another situation and for other persons. Then there is another big thing regarding acupuncture, and that is holism, which makes the acupuncturist look at the whole picture, all your problems, qualities, strenghts and weaknesses. |
