Wednesday was my first Acupuncture appointment. I'd have to say it turned out to be pretty cool and I felt the results. Sounds kinda odd... but I do think this will work to bring my blood pressure down. This is a pretty small company. It is owned by a young couple probably around the same age as I am. I have spoke with both of them and they aren't dirty hippies... ha ha ha... they are very much real medical professionals.
The first initial appointment is set up where the first part of the session is filling out a form for your medical history and the issues you wish to resolve. Then once you go over the forms wit the specialist, they take you into a warm, low lite room. The room is set up for some serious relaxation. I could of fallen asleep in this room. The table you lay on, back down, was so soft. The lights were low and there was some low level ambient music playing. He calmly speaks to you and tell s you each thing he is doing. My session was set up to be in my legs and one needle in my forehead. Right between the eyes. You don't feel a thing.
Once he sets you up with all of the placed needles, he leaves the room.. turns the light off to be a single nightlight and turns the music up slightly. It is warm and cozy now. So you lay there for a certain period of time. You can move but I tried not to since I had never done this before. I took some deep breaths and try to relax. I was in there a total of 30-40 minutes. Within 15 or so... my body started to feel tingly. Like someone was stroking a feather against my skin, a slight tingling began just below my skin. It moved up from my legs to my hips, then up into my arms and chest. It was such a bizarre feeling but felt great one. (And no it wasn't an orgasm dirty birds!) This feeling went on all the way until he removed the needles at the end of the session. I asked him what that was... he smirked and said that I was relaxed and that was my inner Chi.
Whoa buddy!
I have felt more relaxed, happier when I get out of bed, but the big bonus is that I have fallen asleep rock hard for the whole night... never woke up once. That is worth every cent.
I am definitely going back!
In addition to these treatments I have to take herbal supplements to fix my Yen &Yang levels. I have so many vitamins and now 2 more herbal tablets I can fit them into my traveling vitamin tray anymore. So I have upgraded his this bad boy....
Now my vitamins won't make a jingle jangle sound in my purse. Nice and tidy sound proof pouches. Can be found on Magellan's website.
