Acupuncture May Help Tinnitus

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy. It uses very fine needles, which are inserted into precise points around your body. The most you will feel is a sensation as the needle goes into your skin.
Acupuncturists believe that the body has a life or energy force - or "qi" - which flows around your body in channels, called meridians. Each meridian is associated with a particular organ. The chronic over- or under-activity of any of these meridians is thought to cause a particular organ to work less effectively, resulting in illness. Acupuncture works by stimulating your body's own healing responses and getting rid of any imbalance of qi.
