I'm pretty skeptical, unless these treatments are supported by sound double-blind studies. I don't think acupuncture qualifies.
I've tried acupuncture myself, and consider it to be about like a good massage. Relaxing, makes you feel good for a short time, but offers no real lasting benefit unless you continue the procedure indefinitely.
I know the same can be said about psych-meds, but at least they're a lot cheaper than acupuncture and massage.
