So...I'm at work right now, and when I have spare time here I peruse KELO's website looking for interesting stories. Tonight I came across something I've always been particularily intrigued by--acupuncture. Those who practice it claim it can solve all sorts of health problems--and the interesting thing about this practice is how incredibly old it is! According to Wikipedia, it's history dates back to the first millenium BCE, with Chinese medical practices of the Han Dynasty. Check out more historical facts here.
Anyway, KELO had a story tonight on how one man is using acupuncture to lose weight! Kevin Rydberg apparently can feel "things moving around" inside his body, prompting him to eat healthier and spend more active time with his kids...and apparently that movement is referred to as his "qi" in the ancient practice.
If I weren't a complete needle-phobe, I'd be open to trying it someday. Too bad.
