Are acupressure and acupuncture the same?
Not exactly. Acupressure is done by hand or a tool without penetration of the skin. Acupuncture uses a needle to penetrate the skin. They can be done at the same time and both are effective. The use of needles frees your acupuncturist to do cupping/moxa/estim or to allow you to relax and meditate by yourself. READ MORE
My mother in law feels very sleepy all through the day. Can acupuncture help her?
Acupuncture can help with fatigue. How long a patient needs treatment varies with the severity of the problem, the weakness of the patient, and how long they have been struggling with the issue.

Please contact a local acupuncturist, one that uses herbs will get results quicker. READ MORE
