Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that uses wire-thin needles inserted by a trained practitioner into specific points in th

e body. This ancient form of pain relief and stimulation is said to benefit patients by blocking channels which practitioners claim allow pain to travel within the body. This practice became more widely recognized and used after a New York Times reporter wrote in 1971 of a positive experience with it after surgery.
Those who doubt the effectiveness of this treatment for pain attribute the pain relief to a placebo effect: if a patient believes something will reduce their pain, they will experience some relief. The National Institutes of Health says that acupuncture relieves pain and reduces nausea and vomiting, although it is unclear how it works. The few adverse effects reported are due to improperly sterilized needles or improper delivery, making this still a fairly low risk option. For anyone considering acupuncture, they should first research its effectiveness for their specific condition.

Warmer summertime temperatures in the northern hemisphere are due partly to
Sveta_85 [38]
<span>Warmer summertime temperatures in the northern hemisphere are due partly to the tilt of the earth's axis around the sun when it is at its lowest point. The northern hemisphere has usually shorter hours in the day and longer hours in the night that is why it always happen during the winter. Because the sun is a bit far away from these islands, people living in this area will expect colder atmosphere.
