According to the World Health Organization, acupuncture can be useful in treatment of a wide variety of conditions, including:

• Acute and chronic pain
• Allergies
• Asthma
• Colds/flu
• Depression and anxiety
• Digestive issues
• Fertility issues
• Headaches
• Hormonal issues
• Hypertension
• Insomnia
• Stress

Many people find that with regular acupuncture treatments, they just feel better overall! They often report “side effects” such as deeper sleep, an easier time handling stress, and smoother digestion, no matter why they initially started treatment.
