Acupuncture is often called an “alternative” medicine, but that label isn’t accurate. For one thing, it’s thousands of years old, so it’s not a new approach to healing. It represents generations of ancient wisdom perfected in this modern age in which we are living. More importantly, if you call something alternative, that sets up an oppositional relationship. Sarah sees acupuncture as a complementary medicine, which can complement your relationship with your primary care physician or specialist, and enhance your relationship with your own body.
