Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years.
Some say two thousand years, some say three thousand years. Others insist that acupuncture
has been around for five thousand years, used by two thirds of the world's population for a reason.
In the sixties, Acupuncture came to the United States, because president Nixon, had phlebitis.
It was big news, back then, when his leg healed quickly and surgery wasn't necessary.
Not only is phlebitis a problem that acupuncture can sucessfully treat, but most health problems
can get relief with acupuncture. Everything from High blood pressure to psoriasis.
Any health problem which one may experience, all happen for the same reason - a lowered immune
system and, or some kind of stress. The stress can happen for any number of reasons, emotional, physical, or both.
Found recent article titled :
"Acupuncture Shown to Reduce Arthritic Pain"
Acupuncture in addition to conventional therapy reduces the pain suffered by people with osteoarthritis,
according to the results of an NIH-supported study presented here at the annual
meeting of the American Academy of Pain Medicine. Although more patients are turning to complementary medicine, and more
physicians want to integrate alternative care into their practices, evidence for the efficacy of these methods is
generally lacking, according to Dr. Brian M. Berman, from the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore.
