Wellness & beauty tip incoming:

Acupuncture. You need it. I needed it but didn’t know I needed it, but now I know—everyone needs it.

I’ve struggled with chronic health issues for years now. After a few acupuncture sessions I’m feeling energized, lighter, and like myself again. Face + eyes look clearer, bloating is disappearing, I’m more resilient against stress.

Find an acupuncturist who combines it with red light therapy for extra oomph, you won’t regret it.

I really wanna try. I am always tired and my back pain is killing me after a day's work. I should give it a try.

Oh this is so interesting...I've considered it but tbh the needles really freaked me out. How often do you do your sessions? I might poke around and see what's around me

I competely agree! Acupuncture qas the only thing that has ever helped with the migraines I always suffer from. All it took for me was two sessions, but I still go back to the clinic regularly.

My job requires me to sit at my desk all day, and I'm not very active, so I tried acupuncture as per my friend's recommendation, and it has helped a lot with releasing the tension from my back and shoulders.

I've been experiencing some back and neck pain recently and was wondering if acupuncture might help with that. What does the red light therapy do?

Thanks so much! I really appreciate all of your advice. I'm planning to look for someone within the next few weeks! :) What type of light do you have?

I am afraid of needles. That's the only that stops me fro doing it. How is the pain level?

It doesn’t hurt! The doctor I go to is so quick I rarely feel the needle go in, and if I do it’s a quick pinch. Doesn’t feel like anything whilst in the skin. It’s not like getting blood drawn or a vaccine, the needles are slender and don’t go in very far.

My mom has been hounding me to try it but I'm too scared of it. I just don't do very good with pain. I have a really low tolerance for it and I faint easily. How was your experience with it?

It doesn’t hurt at all; you may feel a pinch when the needle goes in but that’s it (assuming you go to a trained acupuncturist). It’s not like getting blood drawn or other needle activities

I really wanna try it! How do they assess you on your first visit? And how long does the procedure usually take?

I filled out some forms and briefed the practitioner on my health issues. He looked at my tongue and, based on what I told him, diagnosed me with “dampness.”

Depends on where you go, but it takes maybe 5-10 minutes for needle placement and then they let you marinate for about 20-40 minutes!

Is there anything I would need to prepare before my first appointment? Also, would there be any issues if I'm taking medication? Should I inform them beforehand?

Personally, I just showered, shaved, and moisturizer, lol. And made sure my feet weren’t gross since they put needles on the tops of my feet, too.

I would definitely let them know of any meds you take! I had to fill out a form describing my medical history, symptoms, and meds.

I really want to try this for a very long time but I cannot find an acupuncturist here in Boston area. I have read a lot of benefits that I can get from it and I am so curious that I really want to try it.

Oh man! I've heard a lot of good feedbacks about it. My friends had gone through acupuncture as well. I'm definitely trying this on the weekend!

Acupuncture has intrigued me since. Now that I'm researching about it, a few articles say that it also aids in weight loss. Take my money!

You guys need to try it! I've been struggling with back pain for months that I've been considering seeing a chiropractor. Good thing my husband and I tried acupuncture and boy was I relieved! It almost feels like sorcery.

To my NYC people out here, I strongly recommend Adachi Acupuncture & Herb Clinic. Had the best experience with the founder itself who is by the way a state and board-certified herbalist.

Is anyone eligible to undergo acupuncture? I never had an experience nor know anyone that has one. Would really appreciate replies. Thanks!

Going off of this, I highly recommend getting a TheraBody massage device. I got one the same day I tried acupuncture for the first time recently, and it’s worked wonders for my overall wellness. The mini therabody device that’s handheld is $200 worth ever penny and is so powerful. Every household in America needs one. I am not affiliated with therabody just a very happy customer.

That's good to hear, OP. But I'm just curious. Did you do it on your own after some research? Or someone suggested it?
