Default Re: Acupuncture

The army docs use something call combat acupuncture and its placed into your ear and stays in up to 5 days. I get this done once to twice a month and it really improves my back pain. Of course you look kind of silly with little brass needles in your ears for 4-6 days.

Combat acupuncture sounds like some variation on throwing shuriken at your opponents

Interesting thought though, managing pain with acupuncture on the battlefield. Is it a widespread practice?
