I love acupuncture.
I stopped going to western medicine because of misdiagnosis back in 2006. I started acu in the year 2008 and haven't stopped. I know I have an autoimmune issue but I don't believe in masking the disease with drugs. I feel that acu helps with the whole body-- if one thing is off, it causes a domino effect and other parts of our body feels it. If you are deficient in way or another, there is a reason--.
I have gone to acu for back pain, being sick (common cold, flu, bronchitis), depression, joint pain, lack of sleep, no appetite-- and I still believe in it.
I am a strong believer in herbs too-- there are some great remedies and if you work with a good acupuncturist, ask them about herbs that could possibly help you out.
And as I would like to mention one thing-- it takes time. Don't expect it to work over night-- remember your body is like an onion, many layers. Don't expect a quick fix like western medicine (take this pill to take this pill to take this pill to "help" your symptom).
