I've been thinking bout this for a long time now. But the main reason was because i've been having some really bad days alately and find my eyes twitching and other little things relating to stress.. (or so im guessing).
So how much does it cost, what is it used for mainly and do you think i should try it/leave it/get some oils instead?

Acupuncture is useful for:-
anxiety
depression
arthritis
asthma
back pain
circulatory problems
migraines
rheumatism
fertility treatment
pregnancy pain
sciatica
skin conditions
ulcers.
It costs about £30 an hour. But I would probably go to a doctor first, just in case. You could also have a massage for around the same cost which can work wonders for stress related illnesses.

Hi, you should address the cause of your stress 1st or all the acupuncture in the world isn't going to help! When you have reduced the causes then try your GP he may help to refer you to a registered practitioner, do not go to anyone who is not registered, is may cause more damage to your already fragile health!! Registered practitioners only use the needles once then dispose of them. There are clinics available on the NHS but are few and far between and the waitng list can be months! Good luck.

Acupuncture is great but it needs to be chinese method its much better, you might find in your diagnosis that other things are going on. I pay £25 and the session lasts for however long it takes, it could be 1 hour or hour and a half

Zero in on the cause.
What you are experiencing is the effect.
Try mediating and see what happens.
Eat right.
Give the body what it needs to maintain and repair itself.
Get enough sleep.
Write down what bothers you.
Re-read your notes occasionally.

to be honest i have no idea how much it costs but ive had quite a few mates have it done and they've said it really relaxed them.
so if you dont mind someone putting needles in your ears (or where ever else thay want to stick em i'd say go for it
