This is so cool

I am looking into acupuncture, how do I confirm the place I am going is licensed and if they are certified it Chinese medicine? I want to ensure this is done by someone who knows what they are doing, and not someone who just decided to offer it

If you're terrified of needles, you will probably tense up, and that will make it hurt. I have to inject insulin into my belly, every single night. The acupuncture needles are smaller than my insulin needles.
