Brits are still Missing the Point when it Comes to Acupuncture

Posted by Brittany on 24 February 2012

I'm in the studio today with the lovely Clare Nasir and Bernard Nolan dispelling the myths about acupuncture.

The vast majority of people are put off acupuncture because of the needles, and many people think that the needles used in acupuncture are as big as a hypodermic needle, or even as big as a sewing needle! This really isn't the case, as the needles used are actually as thin as a human hair.

Acupuncture is suitable for everyone - pregnant women, children, elderly, your dog (no joke!) and apparently can be quite relaxing and most patients feel a tingling sensation!

So, would you be willing to go under the needle and give it a go? I certainly would.
