Acupuncture

Hi everyone! During this time (semester) I will be posting stuff about acupuncture, because I considered it a good method to decrease the amount of stress and to reduce pain, and also because is an alternative medicine, where you´re not forced to take any pills, and also I´ll be writing about this because is the topic I choose for my English class, I hope you like what I post.

Well, what is acupuncture? “Acupuncture is the practice of inserting thin needles into specific body points to improve health and well-being. It originated in China more than 2,000 years ago. American practices of acupuncture use medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea and other countries” (Medicine). Most of the time the acupuncture is use to relieve pain, to cure some kind of disease, stress and even for infertility.

Most of the people choose this kind of alternative medicine, because as I said before you don´t need to take any kind of pills to eliminate your pain since the needles are the ones who make this happen.

I will share a family experience. I have an aunt who had a problem in her back lumbar (lower back), then at times when for whatever reason he crouched, her back locked and she could not get up and the pain was so intense that she could not stop crying and could not move, then a relative or friend of hers recommended acupuncture and as she made ​​an appointment and when she got to the place was hunched in pain, then they have laid the needles and let her sleep about 1 hour and when she wake up she got up and leave the place and with her back well and without any pain.
