acupuncture is not simple a technician's skill where a needle can be stuck in a place to achieve an outcome. Acupuncture is both science and art and needling incorrectly is not only dangerous, it can have unintended outcomes for a person's body mind an spirit. I feel it is grossly inappropriate to allow people without the appropriate training of understanding the complex way that the meridian system interacts to be permitted to conduct needling.
