- Acupuncture.

*Acupuncture is an alternative medicine methodology originating in ancient China that treats patients by manipulating thin, solid needles which have been inserted into acupuncture points in the skin.
*Theory
The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow (Qi) through the body that are essential for health. Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease. Acupuncture may correct imbalances of flow at identifiable points close to the skin. (1)

- New year with success..


In the name of Allah.

Year left & a new year come but we still unchanged ,

this is a big mistake ,

so the intelligent who try to change

themselves to the best as time passes.

The intelligent who throw their bad experiences behind &

start with success.

The intelligent who put the final target

in front of their eyes, but before that

they try to do the stages before the final target

" Rely on Allah then working hard"
