I'm a HUGE acupuncture advocate! I went for fertility issues. After IUI's and a failed IVF, etc. I got pregnant naturally with a year of acupuncture. I think it's GREAT for female issues, allergies and I saw many there for chemo side effects help.
I went to a school for acupuncture. There are two clinics you can go to, one is the upper level students and you pay half the cost, or you can see the actual Chinese Medicine Doctors for the full price. I went to the students because they are 100% monitored by the Chinese Medicine doctors anyhow and you get great care. You can stay with the same student so it's just ilke having your own doctor. I met some great people. Many of the students already had a practice of some sort and were just adding to their knowledge. I saw midwives, naturalists and even chiropractics and family care. It was a great experience and I really think you'll like it.
The first time I went, I went for a few weeks, but didn't like it so much. I stopped but went again and met other students until I found hte one I really connected to and she was very interested in getting me pregnant so she was always in tune with me.
