“Acupuncture is a method of healing that has been used for more than 2,000 years,” says Blake. “It activates and speeds the body’s own healing process with minimal side effects and has been shown to be effective in providing relief for such conditions as headaches and migraines, anxiety, gynecological issues, seasonal allergies and much more. Many people report a general feeling of well-being after receiving acupuncture, which is also a great way to help manage the effects of stress.”
