Boston University and Acupuncture: Chronic Body Pain, a manifestation of Mental Health

Video: Boston University and Acupuncture, Click here to Watch  
Video that accompanies the Boston University story about Dr. Michael Grodin, who uses alternative medicine to help refugees who have been tortured.


Quotes from the video:
"...torturers go through the body, through the mind to the soul and really try to destroy the person which is what we have to rebuild"
"National Institute of Health, NIH, states that Acupuncture works for pain syndromes such as back pain, headaches."


An important idea from this video is that acupuncture is an effective tool for treating pain, both eliminating and managing.  The efficacy of acupuncture lies in its universality, that is, it has no borders of language, race, religion, the common thread is the map of the human body and the human experience of emotion.  Acupuncture is a non-verbal treatment method that gets to the root cause of the pain and works with the imbalances in the body to heal body, mind and soul.
