 * **Do you see a doctor or do you try other healing forms when you are ill? Why / Why not? **

A. __**Acupuncture:**__ It’s a 3000-year-old Chinese medical system. Acupuncturists insert hair-thin needles at certain points in the body to treat various diseases or to relieve pain. B. __**Reflexology:**__ It is similar to acupuncture but focuses on treating certain disorders through massage of the soles of the feet. C. __**Herbalism:**__ It is the world’s oldest and most widely used healing form. Herbalists use herbs to treat illnesses such as depression, anxiety and hypertension. D. __**Ayurveda:**__ It takes a preventive approach and focuses on the whole person. It is effective especially in treating headaches and chronic sinusitis. E. __**Naturopathy:**__ Proponents of naturopathy believe that the mind and body are in balance. With a healthy diet, adequate rest and minimal stress, the body’s own vital forces are sufficient to fight off diseases. F. __**Homeopathy:**__ It uses doses of herbs, minerals or even poisons to stimulate the body’s curative powers. Homeopathy is based on the theory that if large doses of a substance can cause a problem, tiny doses can help healing of that same problem.

However, research into acupuncture might change people’s opinions. A <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">new study into this ancient Chinese therapy shows it is better than usual hospital treatments at relieving back pain. The research team found <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">acupuncture is “better” for a bad back than the care given in the West. This may be good news for millions of people who suffer from back pain. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Up to 85 per cent of us will experience a painful back at some time in our life. The research team surveyed 638 patients with lower back pain. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Researcher Dr Daniel Cherkin said all the varieties of acupuncture in the study “had beneficial…effects” when compared to usual treatment. He <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">said acupuncture was both safe and effective. Acupuncture is growing in popularity around the world. It is a technique in which very thin needles are pushed into specific points on the body. Experts say each point has access to a special energy flow. The needles can stop the flow of energy that causes pain. They also say acupuncture is painless. Western doctors do not understand how or why these lines of energy work. The WHO recommends acupuncture for over 20 different medical problems. Dr Cherkin’s study showed acupuncture worked. After eight weeks, up to 69 per cent of the test patients having acupuncture said their back pain improved. This compares to just 39 per cent for the patients who received conventional care.
