Feeling sad and depressed? It happens to most people from time to time, and when it happens a lot,and really interferes with your ability to live a happy and productive life, many people turn to anti-depressant drugs.

Why not try acupuncture the next time you’re hit by the depression blues? It can help your improve mood and help with many other ailments as well!
