I have a problem with my back which I believe is due to poor posture,...... €40 for all this was great value. Each session lasted about 1 hour. A 1 hour massage in a beauty salon is usually ~€60!

The problem is when treatments like this are explicitly sold as remedies for various ailments with no actual scientific/clinical evidence to substantiate such claims.TBH I think if people see this for what it is - ie relaxing treatment - rather than a cure
Monkeyboy, do you mean they left you alone with the needles in? AFAIK this is not on. Chinese medicine looks at the whole person and part of that philosophy is to stay with the person and reassure them....no?

I disagree. People making silly purchasing decisions in the fact of the availability of clear and truthful information about products is one thing (and is their prerogative) but blatant misselling (e.g. claiming that certain treatments work when there is no objective scientific/clinical evidence to substantiate such claims) is another and should not be allowed.There are a lot of sales people and indeed "famous" people selling miracle products/services which will supposedly help you look 10 yrs younger, shed 20Kgs with no exercise and change in diet, make your €5k jump to €25k through pyramid schemes...... If people are stupid enough to believe these statements, they deserve all they get - IMO!
I have a friend who has been an accupuncturist for many years...trained in a Chinese hospital, studied further in the UK and later worked in a Canadian hospital. She assures me that part of her basic training was that the patient should never be left alone.
