I don’t doubt it may work for some people (placebo maybe?) but not for me.
I have sinusitis, I was told that I may breathe well with acupuncture. Five sessions later, zero improvement, and a lot of money spent. The guy told me that I may need 5 more sessions because somehow my body was not reacting as expected…. For free? No, paying again. No, thanks.
I think more research should be done as it may interact with the interstitium which is a relatively new discovery and may provide a scientific explanation.
I’d disagree. Even as a sample of one, I benefitted from it greatly from treating my sinus and LBP. For a bit of context, this is in Singapore where we have a formal medical board to regulate TCM and acupuncture, and physicians undergo years of college education. Laws are also present to deter abuse and protect patients.
Accupuncture. It is a placebo at best. At worst it is the ccp’s way of expanding its influence In the world. It is medical astrology is what it is.
I thought it was shown that it definitely helps, but it really doesn’t matter where the needles are placed, just that you are poked.
