Understanding Acupuncture From a Physiological Lens (and Why You Shouldn’t Fear the Needles!), with Patrick Boswell

Acupuncturist, massage therapist, and birth doula, Dr. Patrick Boswell talks with Adriana about how acupuncture gets to the root of the issue with the happy result of improving more than the symptoms you came in for!
