One of the most important decisions many people will ever make is the selection of care options for a loved one. When the family member is aged, disabled or ill, there are many alternatives to provide the best care for them. Each situation is unique and individual.

In the study of 53 postmenopausal women, scientists found that women who received this type of acupuncture twice a week for 10 week had significantly less severe hot flashes and mood swings than women who were given a sham acupuncture treatment.
