Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that uses fine needles to treat a range of physical and mental conditions. According to practitioners, energy (qi) travels through interconnecting pathways (meridians) in the body and causes health issues when they become blocked; blockages are cleared by inserting acupuncture needles at specific points in the skin, restoring energy flow and improving health.

Many people find acupuncture effective in treating complaints as diverse as pain, wrinkles and mental health problems. Formal evidence on its effectiveness, however, isn’t clear.

Try to bring a list of all your current medications, supplements and ailments to your session to help inform the practitioner of your overall health before they treat you. It’s advisable to avoid coffee (a stimulant) and eating at least 2 hours before your appointment as doing so may reduce the effect of acupuncture on your body.

The frequency of treatments depends on the complaint(s) you are treating, so you should ask your practitioner for their specific advice. Some people have acupuncture once a month to help maintain their overall health.

Most people experience minimal discomfort during acupuncture. The needles are very fine, much thinner than injection needles: and many people feel a dull ache or tingling sensation at insertion points, followed by deep relaxation during the session.
