You make a great point that acupuncture helps to reduce stress as well as prevent it in the future. Acupuncture could be a huge benefit for me because I have been dealing with a lot of stress in my life for the past few years and finding ways to prevent this stress would be very helpful. Also, the fact that it empowers you to understand your body and your mind means that acupuncture would provide mental as well as physical benefits for me!
