Acupuncture has a placebo effect just like giving someone a sugar pill and telling them it will make them feel better. That doesn’t mean it actually works in the way that people say it works. Acupuncture just helps your mind cure itself.

Cleveland Clinic Pain Management uses Acupunture as part of their methodology. That should tell a person something right there. I have experienced the benefits of acupuncture, though the benefits are too temporary for me to shell out that kind of money. Yoga is working better and is far cheaper.

As for the facial acupuncture, I’ve had a few sessions and did not see much of a difference (though I felt it temporarily.) However, I am working on acupressure massage points and bought a book on those specific facial points. I’m going to get the right facial needles on my own and do my own deciding on the matter in a much cheaper way. Experiment.

The ancient Chinese did it, after all.

But I have read a lot of reviews online that a lot of women feel they wasted their money. About half that I read about.

Sure there is proof we would accept. Simple, double-blind, placebo controlled studies would work. Do you have anything like that?

Is there any evidence that would convince you that acupuncture doesn’t work? I suspect No Proof would ever be enough for a true believer.

NO PROOF IS EVER ENOUGH FOR THE SHELTERED SKEPTIC.
