I posed this question to my faithful followers on Twitter and here are the answers I received:
*Needles
*Chinese and Needles. Brings to mind an old Chinese guy sticking needles in my body. Also pinhead from Hellraiser! ;p
*New medicine to the West. Untested, does it really work?
*Acupuncture = Health, naturally! (I'm a convert most recently because my husband can treat me now too )
*My first thought is of the feeling of the needle entering but not hurting.
*I think of 'balanced life'
*Needles
*I think its something my brother learned after he got his MD
*Did it to quit smoking -OUCH! Didn't work for me. Want to do again though for other things!
*Needle, relaxation, and calm - in that order.
*A relaxed neck, a headache gone
Great answers, Everyone! As you can see there have been a wide variety of experiences with acupuncture!
And don't worry, an acupuncturist would never put that many needles in your head!
