Acupuncture

                       Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body involving various methods such as penetration by thin needles or the application of heat, pressure, or laser light. Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion, moxibustion, and cupping therapy. It is a form of complementary and alternative medicine and a key component of traditional Chinese medicine.

Duties and Responsibilities: An acupuncturist is a complementary health practitioner who takes a holistic approach to the maintenance of health and the management of disease, with a focus on improving overall well being.

Salary: A licensed acupuncturist after one year of school can make around $45,000 or more in year. After five years of practice an acupuncturist can make around $100,000 or more.

Education: Most acupuncture and TCM training programs require students to have a bachelor's degree. While the degree can be in any subject, classes in physiology, anatomy, biology and psychology will help prepare aspiring acupuncturists for successful careers. A bachelor's degree in a health care or alternative medicine related subject is especially helpful for a career as an acupuncturist.  

I would not like to be an acupuncturist because I do not like sticking needle's inside people.

 Acupressure is a treatment using manual pressure.  It is a form of alternative therapy similar to acupuncture that uses manual pressure instead of needles.  Acupressure is used for relaxation and wellness and to treat disease. Some common acupressure points are the large intestine, Liver, and the Spleen.
