Acupuncture

Yesterday I had to go to school and make up some missed class time. So while I was in the Library a lady from the acupuncture program stopped to say hi and asked if I wanted a treatment done. I said yes and told her I'd see her a little later. She took me into the treatment room and asked all about how I was feeling and about my period and my bodily functions and about any soreness I was having and asked to see my tongue. 

The first time I went through this process I was really taken back by the things they wanted to know, I wish I had had some warning. But she is very kind and after laying down on the table she tested some pressure points and I was surprised how much they hurt. So she proceeds to poke me with needles.

For anyone who has never experienced acupuncture don't be freaked out because of the needles you nearly feel them and if you have any discomfort at all they will adjust them.

The most interesting point of the treatment was when I told her about my feet and how they were always cold. She said she would be able to fix that. When she stuck my ankle I was amazed when I imediately felt warmth rush into my foot! I was like Whoah! She just laughed a little and said "good your chi was very blocked"

I called mom and told her about my treatment and she was very surprised too. Even hours later when I stopped by the house my feet were still warm. Mom said Whoah! And I said I know right?! 

Mom has expressed many times that she would like to go have acupuncture done and I suggested she go to the clinic. I would recommend it to anyone who is feeling "off balance" in anyway you're going to be pleasantly surprised by how much better you feel.
