2. How Acupuncture Is Done
• First, the acupuncturist talks to the patient
about what kind of pain he or she has and
notices the sound, face, tongue, odor and the
obvious emotions of the patient.
• Then the acupuncturist will check the 6 pulses
on each palm of the patient.
• This helps the acupuncturist determine
whatkind of treatment to preform on the
patient.

3. • The acupuncturist will select some needles after he
or she is done deciding what treatment to do.
• Then the acupuncturist will insert the needles into
any 365 points along the meridans in the body.
• This process will take up to 30 minutes to an hour.

4. Explanation
• Scientists do not know why acupuncture
works, though they are studying it.
• Meridans are pathways in which qi flows
through. There are blockages in these
pathways when yin and yang are imbalanced.
People sometimes feel slight electrical pulses
along these meridans.

5. Needles
• Some acupuncture needles are thick, and
others are thin. The needles are designed for
specific depths and angles for different
treatments.
• The needles are made of steel.

6. Cures, Side Effects, And Accidents
• Acupuncture cures back pains, has numbing
effects, headaches, relieves pain, etc.
• The most common infections are viral
hepatitis and bacterial infections. This is
usually caused by the acupuncturist and bad
hygiene.
• The most common and fatal accident is the
puncture of one of the lungs, collapsing it.

7. About Acupuncture
• Acupuncture originated and was practiced in
Asia.
• It is being accepted by the United States, but
some states still ban it and you have to have
an acupuncturist license.
• Nobody knows who invented it.
