Treament Hour #2

The second part of my treatment and hour consisted of working on the front part of my body. This part of my treatment may make some people squeamish  so fair warning.This time she focused on my feet, arms and my head. She inserted needles around my eyes and just below my nostrils. She did this because she knows that I have eyesight problems, so she put the needles there specifically to improve my eyesight. As for the nostril points she wanted to drain my nose from the build up that accumulated while I was facing down. As for the points on my feet and arms they were again to move the chi throughout my body and help with the functions of my body parts. After she left the needles in for a ample amount of time she proceeded to give me acupressure which was to stimulate each meridian point and keep the chi flowing throughout my body. When I finished I did not only feel relaxed, but I noticed a significant difference in how I felt as well as more knowledge about each of the points she targeted during this hour.

  1. Woah! So you really experienced how acupuncture feels like. Were you nervous or scared at all? Did it hurt? I would not be able to handle all of those needles if I were in your place.

    1. This wasn't my first treatment, so I was used to being "poked," but I remember my first treatment. Now that was nerve wrecking, but it's all good now.

  2. Sounds... painful. I'm wondering if you felt nervous, a lot of people do. Was there any noticeable change in how your felt about your eyes afterwards?

    1. Nah I wasn't nervous. As for my eyes since it was only one treatment there wasn't any significant changes, but about a few years ago when I did go consistently I did notice my eyes did get better.

  4. I wonder if the changes you felt those that she said you would, or whether you simply felt better overall. That is a really intriguing field of medicine. I can't wait to hear what else happens as your project continues!

    1. Well after the treatment I felt really relaxed because when I noticed when I first got to her office I was really tense, after the treatment I felt so much better and even got a better night sleep.
