DescriptionThe narrator does a demonstration of the needles he uses for acupuncture. He says that he consults with a manual for performing acupuncture. The manual is twenty years old, and there are various classes of needles, but they all work the same way. The idea of acupuncture comes from China, and the needle is used to treat the following ailments: allergies, tonsillitis, anxiety, asthma, rheumatic arthritis, stomach pain, bronchitis, common colds, the flu, headaches, sciatica, urinary tract infection, biliary colic, pink eye, depression, faintness, diarrhea, and dysentery. It is only performed on adults and not on children. The duration of the acupuncture is half an hour and the channels through which the needles are placed depends on the ailment.
