Acupuncture: The All-In-One Solution

For many of us, merely the thought of having a dozen needles stuck into our face in order to improve complexion is surely a bit unnerving. Yet, acupuncture specialists reassure that associating pain with facial acupuncture is a myth that needs to be banished. And they assure us that acupuncture has visible long-term benefits that manifests in improved overall health and healthy complexion.

Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique that involves inserting very fine, sterile needles superficially, and at specific points in the body, to stimulate the body’s self-healing process. The technique has been practised in China for over 3,000 years and is one of the established practices of traditional Chinese medicine. 

“Traditional Chinese medicine states that the body has two opposite yet complementary and inseparable forces called yin and yang, which need to be balanced for the body to be healthy. An imbalance in these forces leads to the slowing down or blockage of chi, the universal energy that flows through meridians or channels in the body. This in turn manifests as health issues,” says Dr. Nisheeta Barodekar, Mumbai-based homeopath, acupuncturist and cosmetologist.
