Piercings

This has been discussed more

This has been discussed more than a few times previously.  You could read my comment here for my general view on the subject.  I think the effect is minimal bordering non-existent except perhaps for incredible numbers of piercings and/or metal allergies.  I certainly would never counsel anyone against piercing their ears based on Chinese Medicine theories.  That said, excessive piercing while quite possibly not very disruptive after the initial piercing is certainly not necessary for any reason so I would counsel against it.  This would, of course, be based not on sound medical theory but more my personal adage of just leaving things be the way they are naturally...
