ACUPUNCTURE: Placebo, Panacea...or a Practice? Be Well Now Episode 3

Send us Fan MailIf you're nervous about needles, you're not alone. Many people are skeptical that acupuncture can be helpful, and if you add on a fear of needles....that's a sizable barrier. So what is acupuncture all about -- and is it something that can help...you?I think so, but then again...I'm just one guy. Nick the curious patient here, and I can share my experience at Community Health and Wellness in Heber City. I started dropping in for community acupuncture sessions, and it's been a phenomenal experience. This group setting involves sitting in a comfy chair in a half circle inside a room....the lighting is low, the music is relaxing, and you pretty much lay back and close your eyes for 20 to 30 minutes. (I lose track of time because it's so relaxing)And, because you're sharing the space with others, you get a great deal. It's reasonably priced enough for me to be able to afford going once a week (or so).Dr. Ron Dummar calls it a practice. That didn't make sense to me, until I started noticing some pretty amazing benefits to my anxiety and a growing sense of "it's all going to be okay" after about a month of weekly sessions. Anyway, listen to the podcast and let us know what questions you [email protected] the show
