Investigating Acupuncture: Why It Works

I live in Penang where this practice is an ordinary living day-to-day-happening for chinese families. Family members seek the services of acupuncturists for treatment of aches and pains in limbs and other parts of the body.
This investigative docu has particular interest for me. It explains at the end the scientific explanation why acupuncture works. It is not just faith in what has been traditionally found to be workable. It is a system of healing that has a collated body of scholarship for learning, teaching and practice.

This is an amazing BBC documentary about acupuncture, an ancient Chinese therapy.

Acupuncture is a collection of procedures which involves the stimulation of points on the body using a variety of techniques, such as penetrating the skin with needles that are then manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation. It is one of the key components of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and is among the oldest healing practices in the world.

As part of the documentary, you will see an young women having an open heart surgery without any anesthetics, just acupuncture, a 2000 years old healing method. You will also see how it helps to treat migraines and many other conditions.Millions people have started believing that acupuncture works better than conventional medicine .This documentary explains about astonishing healing power of acupuncture and its booming market in western world.
