Acupuncture remains steeped in controversy. Some findings are encouraging but others suggest that its clinical effects mainly depend on a placebo response.

Acupuncture/Acupressure really effective treatment
Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. As part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture aims to restore and maintain health through the stimulation of specific points on the body.
Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points on the body by a variety of techniques, including the insertion of thin metal needles though the skin. It is intended to remove blockages in the flow of qi and restore and maintain health.
Acupuncture are considered to be effective for pain, knee osteoarthritis, posttraumatic stress disorder, fibromyalgia, etc.

My son who is at his 7? Has severe digestion and sleeping problem, so he is not able to attain his normal body height as well as weight. He is under weight and height, so decided to do Stomach & Liver Massage (an acupressure treatment). After a week I feel some progress and in a month there is a notable change in this digestion, sleep and height. I am not able to confirm these are all due to stomach massage, but my son is not in any other treatment at that time so I hope all this positive changes are due to stomach massage. So I am continuing the treatment and I will come back for any update.
Also my wife now and then performed this stomach massage during flatulent and been found some immediate relief.
Just try this if you are flatulent, then no doubt you start accepting acupressure treatment.
