Originating in China nearly 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is another popular holistic treatment. Acupuncture gives attention to energy (also referred to as "qi") that runs through energy pathways (also referred to as "meridians") in the body. Any type of disturbance of qi in the meridians will offset your body's balance. That offset of balance is what triggers the discomforts in the body that send patient's seeking professional care from their primary physician.
By placing very fine needles along the necessary meridians, acupuncture can help improve migraines and headaches, anxiety, pain in the lower back, digestive problems, acute and chronic pain, and more. Many people also seek out acupuncturists to help them quit smoking! Yes the needles can be an intimidating thought, especially if you have a fear of needles. However, do not let those thoughts and fears take over! Acupuncture should NOT hurt you and you shouldn't feel any pain from the treatment, only relief. Sessions last approximately 15-30 minutes. The holistic center you go to for treatment can help further explain and prepare you for your visit.
Ayurveda is an ancient medical practice native to India whose prevalence in the Western world finds foothold in the last three decades. While there is an obvious attraction to Ayurvedic medicine in the western world, one can always find skeptics who wouldn't even consider educating themselves on the subject before rushing to judgment.

No. Ayurveda is not a medical practice, which is in contrast to the prevalent notion in the West. Ayurveda is akin to 'herbalism'. Herbalism is the ancient practice of finding natural cures for human maladies which goes back 60,000 years when the Neanderthal men depended on nature's herbs to cure human sicknesses as well as attend to their animals' health issues.
