 Acupuncture is of wonderful healing for more than three thousand years.People always like to ask quetions about acupuncture like when it began, who discovered or created it. In textbooks or chinese folklore, you would see some pure empirical explanations like healing after accidental human body hits, or  trigger points-like sore spots  came and gone with some illness. But how to connect dots to a line(merridian), link lines to inside  organs, that might or must need a lot helps from anatomical knowledge, physiology, philosophy, .moxbution, massage, Qigong and more.  

Acupuncture is very good for treating pain, or pain management as many insurance companies would cover. There are some theories like Gate-control theory of pain or Neurohormonal theory,trying to explain or understand acupuncture actions at the levels of  brain, nerve fibers, or endorphins, etc. 

Acupuncture is also very good at problems of mood, addiction, or cravings, because "In effect, acupuncture is quieting some key regions of the brain. 


Acupuncture is also very good for allergy, most patients could get big relieve with few treatments.


We all use very fine disposable acupuncture needles, and some patients complained about their friends who would be too hard to be convinced that  acupuncture is a very relaxing procedure.
