This book addresses the legitimate questions that arise regarding the nature and practice of acupuncture: what can this technique treat? When should one consult? Can children benefit from it? Are the needles painful? Can it be effective for cosmetic use?

Acupuncture is one of the disciplines of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and it remains fairly little known in the West. More and more people, convinced by natural therapies, are turning to this kind of medicine and to this technique in particular.

Franck Labat, an experienced acupuncturist of more than ten years, wrote this book at the request of his patients, to make the practice and benefits of acupuncture easy to understand.
