"Acupuncture is very effective for persistent or chronic pain especially if it is related to stress...skin conditions and allergies. Patients who have tried the usual medications, diet and relaxation therapies without success should consider acupuncture. It also works well for conditions that tend to relapse like women's health problems, hormonal disorders, migraine and odd digestive difficulties."

                             University of Westminster

 

"The way acupuncture works is being increasingly understood in general medicine."

"A growing body of evidence suggests that the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture really can enhance a woman's chance of conception.
