my first experience with acupuncture . Does it work?

[ykhuser]

sure many know what is acupuncture.
how many try before?

suffer lower back aching (sour feeling not pain) and ear ringing.
went to chinatown for a few times of cupping.
*Cupping therapy is an ancient Chinese form of alternative medicine in which a local suction is created on the skin; practitioners believe this mobilizes blood flow in order to promote healing.

no real relief is observed.slight relief yes.

choose cupping rather than acupuncture for fear of needle poking the skin.

the Aching was so terrible at night that my sleep was affected.

pick up my courage and decided to try acupuncture.
went Eu Yan Sang clinic and choose a junior Practitioners.
As it was early morning, the branch just open, there was no customer.

the junior Practitioners was very humble and patient and caring.he explains to me patiently what cause the problem and how to resolve the problem.

he say my qi to the kidney was stagnant and blocked.

acupuncture and some herbs are the treatment.

suprising the needles enter my back was not painful as i thought.
next small current was injected on the needle to further stimulate the stagnant point.Heat Therapy was concurrently used to double the penetraction.
in the mid of around 10 min, i felt a sharp short pain.
i relised that the blocked channel was rush passed by the stagnant Qi.

i recall back i does cupping in 1 of my sessions.
when the 2 of the cups are removed, a sudden rush of QI passed through.
qi cannot be seen,obviously can be felt.

now after 6 days after the acupuncture, the aching did not come back.

Cupping does not work. CONFIRM. Bullshit!! If it works, only temporary. Don't waste money.

Acupuncture maybe work, but not from Eu Yang San. Need to go to China and find the SIFU there.

All acupuncturists in Singapore are most likely quacks. Don't waste money. You may also get harmed.

Had my first acupuncture session about a year ago. A Tiong physician did it.

Needle insertion is relatively painless and nothing more than antbites, but at certain points where the needle is inserted, you would feel a 'jolt' or a lingering dull ache. I am reminded of the same sensation when I had my wisdom teeth removed under local anesthesia.

the one i went eu yan sheng is needle.
i tried many cupping else where..waste $

bro, in order for needle to work through out the 30 min, the practitioners need to keep tuning the needle to stimulate the point.that is not possible unless you pay him $100 then he attend to you 1 person.

so modern day:after they insert the needles, they use small current to stimulate the point.then they attend other patient.come back to you after 30mins


'jolt' or a lingering dull ache...:i felt that in the mid.i refers this as qi unblock

Thanks bro. I also have an issue which some other TCMs recommended acupuncture. Went to one old senior practitioner (most likely from China), he took my pulse and said my chi weak. Go take medicine first, then we see. I ask take medicine for how long? He said he doesn't know, nobody knows!!!. I asked him what is the issue - I did not eat enough, not enough right nutrients, I did not exercise enough or what? - but he just gave a non committal reply. Just take medicine, when chi improve then we see.

I just wondered if he is wants me to do repeated visit after visit before doing acupunture treatment. Anyone who knows can comment?

Anyway thanks for sharing.

if the Physician is their own boss then maybe yes.if you go eu yan sheng..they work for their boss.no point they do that

one does not know how long to take herbs: because every indivudal is different.your food and herbs might not 100% absorded.pass out as shit.

Fake acupuncture works just as well as the real thing in relieving migraines, scientists have found.
In a study of more than 300 patients, both genuine and sham acupuncture reduced the intensity of headache compared to (sic) no treatment at all.But real acupuncture was no better than needles placed at non-acupuncture points on the body, the Journal of the American Medical Association reports.It goes against recent research showing acupuncture works in its own right. Acupuncture is just like faith healing
