Human: I've heard a lot of good things about the benefits of acupuncture. Is it right for me? Assistant: 
It depends on your health and medical history, as well as what you're looking to achieve from acupuncture. Acupuncture is generally safe, but some people may experience mild side effects such as soreness or tingling at the site of the needles. You should consult with your doctor before starting any new treatments, including acupuncture.
