Whenever you see or hear the word acupuncture,
youre probably thinking about a person lying
down with a gazillion needles sticking out of
their body. This is one of the many
misconceptions about acupuncture since, in
reality, the average number of needles used per
treatment is just 5 to 20

Acupuncture is an ancient treatment that
originated in Asia around 2500 years ago

How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture  has time and time again proved that
it does work and requires very few physician
visits. It can be used to treat a variety of
illnesses ranging from whooping cough,
headaches, pain relief, muscle stimulation to
controlling blood pressure.
There is no scientific proof that meridians or
acupuncture points exist but acupuncture as a
whole works for some conditions. In 2003, the
World Health Organization (WHO) listed a number
of circumstances in which they say acupuncture
has been proven effective.

Is It Safe?
The United States Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has regulated acupuncture needles as
medical devices. So I guess its pretty safe. But
the manufacture and labeling need to meet
specific standards. The needles must be sterile,
nontoxic, and labeled for one use only, by a
licensed physician. This is because acupuncture
is safe only if done correctly. Here are some of
the risks if it is not appropriately handled.
  • It is dangerous when the patient has a bleeding
    disorder or is under prescribed blood thinners
  • Unsterilized needles may cause infections
  • If the needle is not of the proper standard it
    might break and damage internal organs.
  • Although rare, if a needle is inserted too deep
    it might cause a failed organ like a collapsed
    lung.
