Discussion: Is acupuncture effective In reducing pain in cancer patients?

Acupuncture effectively reduces most pains, including the pain of cancer patients; it usually requires several treatments to feel relief. At the same time, acupuncture itself can be painful. The penetration of life-force energy through the needles causes pain. The pain reflects the penetration of the life-force energy into the blocked energy channel (Meridian). Painful acupuncture reflects successful acupuncture and usually indicates the needle insertion was done accurately. It is recommended that acupuncture treatments be performed on an empty stomach. After acupuncture, it is advisable to do a relaxing massage.
