This involves the insertion of needles at the right places in relation to the places affected by rheumatism. It is said to produce wonderful results.
If acupuncture does work, there is the fascinating question of why it works. Counter irritants are comforting gin rheumatism; perhaps the needles act in the same way as carious poultices and plasters applied to the skin. Those who 'believe' in acupuncture claim that it does a great deal more than this. However, ignorance oh how something works does not mean that it does or does not work; acupuncture must stand or fall by its results when carefully compared with other treatments for the same illnesses. |
