What is actually happening during acupuncture, does it actually work ?
In: 26
Acupuncturists will have you believe that the needles are intercepting the flow of negative energies throughout your body and that they’re essentially ‘bleeding’ the negative forces out through those needles.
It works, to a degree, *however* the argument that a combination of the placebo effect and, for lack of a better phrase, ‘a different kind of pain’ is what’s actually at play here; by believing it works and by being distracted by a different, milder discomfort and through the body’s attempt to deal with it, people *do* experience relief.
