Lesson

Acupuncture is a form of medical treatment that was invented in ancient China. Acupuncturists are doctors who put long, metal needles in your body. Although the needles go into your skin the treatment doesn't hurts.

The doctors put the needles into diferents parts of your body to help cure diferent pains and illness. Acupuncture has helped people with tootaches, headaches, back pains, and many others problem. It can even help people quit smoking.

Many people say that acupuncture makes them feel healthy again. Sometimes acupuncture can help when modern medicine can't. Science can't really explain how it can works so well.  Smile

Yeah, acupuncture is magic, it can cure lots of illnesses. But so far as I know, the needle has to be put in to the right point. Otherwise, it will make no sense, or even hurt peopel

There is also an alternative way of curing pains, headache called "Acupressure" with the use of finger pressure instead of needles.  Simple, safe and convenience for first aid, curing pains and headaches.

Well, I'm a doctor and what we do to help people is totally dependent on scientific data. As far as alternative medicine is concerned, I think that at this time, this types of medicine are not yet confirmed scientifically but in fact a lot of them work. In the future, who knows, maybe humans will know to explain what really alternative medicine does.

why is there so much interest in alternative medicine?>> one explanation is that people are aging> People are living longer these days,and alternative medicine maybe more helpful in dealing with long term health problem.For example ,some people have had good results using accupuncture to help relieve pain. This trend also mayve due to the fact that people have become more individualistic.They're better educated and have access to much more information- especially on the internet. and They want to make their own decisons regarding their healthcare,so they want to explore the possible of alternative medicine.

 

 buy the alternative medicines maybe not be effective to treat some disease ,but some people think that they are useful,because of their Psychological(the placebo effect)
