However, in the US, many Spas offer acupuncture, hence the reference. I agree, acupuncture (as well as Ayurveda) are both eastern medicine modalities...meaning, they affect you in more impactful ways than an ordinary massage... Flo, that is a really valid point.

Acupunture is really efficient at curing certain health issues and should not be taken lightly. It is a science in itself (the oldest one) and the "no-sex for 3 days" can seem odd, but does make sense from an energy balance point-of-view. Now it is up to each one to decide if no sex for 3 days is asking too much vs the lifetime benefits of acupunture ......
