It's taken me 40yrs (so far) to get here and I'm just starting to enjoy the fruits of my labour. It hasn't been easy and there's still so much to learn but I feel like I have something to offer the world, even if that turns out to be how "not" to do things!
Either way we'll learn something new, create a better version of ourselves and change the world for the better…together…

Question of The Day: What effects have you felt from Acupuncture?
I had back surgery L5 S1 decompression and fusion in Feb on this year 2021 and got acupuncture in the spot today 6/6/2021.Iam feel horrible in alot of pain
I'm so sorry to hear that, any sort of operation on the back is a very difficult recovery! Just to check, you're feeling in a lot of pain after having acupuncture? Who did the acupuncture for you, was it a Licensed Chinese medicine practitioner or an Osteo/Physio/Chiropractor?
@@exposedtv398 how are you feeling after that?
@@starlite7785 it's 7 months later & I have to back surgery again the hardware failed and I have pedicle screws
Got acupuncture for the first time today by Master Choi, on Yin side, and I cried. Cried on the table mid session and after. At one point water just kept flowing from my eyeballs! Personally I’ve been on a 2 year journey learning and working with my energy body, adding acupuncture is the cherry on top 🌹
Hi Kry, thank you for sharing this experience with us! I love a good cry, it a very cleansing experience especially if you’ve been holding emotions in for a long time! I hope you enjoy future sessions with Master Choi and your work on the energy body…😁
I recently started acupuncture for stress/anxiety that had caused a hormonal imbalance with my thyroid (yes, stress makes us sick!) I had been treating it with traditional western medicine aka drugs and was sick and tired of having the symptoms "controlled" but not cured.
Acupuncture has helped waaaay more than a year of medical treatment, believe me! I also do reiki.
Anyhow, without fail after each acu treatment I feel lightheaded, and 24 hours later, I cry and cry for no apparent reason. It's a fantastic emotional release!!
Brilliantly explained as always.
Glad you liked it!
Great information, Liam! Didn't know this about acupuncture, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching Laura, glad you enjoyed it 😁
Great video. Love your upbeat presentation. Acupuncture UPS and Downs. Interesting.
Thanks Bill, much appreciated 😁
I am feeling extremely emotional, and painful body aches after few treatments.
I didn’t expect this to happen but im grateful to understand all of this is normal. Thank you for spreading this knowledge
Hi Sasara, thank you for sharing that with us, I’m so happy to hear you have found the video helpful! Sorry to hear you’re having strong side effects to treatment, stick with it and have a conversation with your practitioner if things persist. If you have any other questions then please let me know 😁
@@ABetterPace thank you for your response. Surprisingly today i am feeling much better as if i have never done no acupuncture! I will stick to it as i understand better now how it works.
@@sasara3340 My pleasure Sasara, very happy to hear you're feeling better!
loved your video thank you
Thank you for watching Mezzo! Have you recently had acupuncture? 😁
@@ABetterPace Yes for many years. Took a break from it and now starting up again with Five Element (Worseley style)
I have done both at once cried and laughed that was so silly cause I have anxiety and depression it felt like the symptoms of both came out of my body but I'm great now it even helped with sciatica and my pcos symptoms really amazing treatment
Hi Sharlene, thank you for sharing your experience! It makes me so happy to hear about how acupuncture is changing peoples lives, it’s why I chose this path in the first place! Thanks for watching…😁
I had my acupuncture appointment at 1.30-2.30 today. Later in the day, I started feeling frustrated that my neck was hurting where a needle was, and worried that the settings were too low during the appointment and then I just started crying for no reason in the evening. So glad to know it’s normal but god I hate it when people see me cry 😂 why did the emotional reflex kick in later and not right after the appointment?
My mom’s blaming Naproxen for the side effects I have but I don’t think so?
it's the same for me, I never cry during the session or right after. For me it is always the next day
It would be interesting if I were to laugh afterwards (recovering from burnout and breakdown).
I usually feel really tired, yet I feel calm and optimistic.
Yesterday, I walked 45 minutes home after my session because I just needed to move my body and settle the qi.
Today, am tired and my sinuses have blocked again, but hopefully doing some tai Chi wil help me to balance out. Muscle soreness as well.
It's a holistic thing, balancing the health.
Hi Jacques, thanks for sharing your experience of treatment with us!
It is certainly an interesting sensation and one that feels much like a dam bursting, some people are unable to stop for several minutes once started! It sounds like you're very in tune with your healing process which is wonderful to hear! I wish you all the best with your journey, please let us know how you get on...
I've recently started acupuncture treatment for Depression and stress. I've already gone twice in the past two weeks, and I've been feeling a lot more sensitive and emotional, however it did not start on the treatment table. It started two days after the last treatment. Could it be related to the it?
Hi Emily,
Thank you for sharing your experience, everything you’re experiencing is perfectly normal.
The response to treatment often takes a couple of days to take effect, feeling sensitive & emotional is understandable if you’ve experienced stress and depression.
Don’t give up on the treatments, your body is responding & I would expect things to even out after 4-6 treatments! If you have any other questions please feel free to get in touch, my socials are in the video description to contact me directly…😁
I get tingling/shooting up and Down my foot after tretment on the area i got the needles. Is this normal? Its been 2 days. I am scared i maybe got nerve iratation
I'm being treated for cervical vertigo after a few needling sessions my muscles in the neck region felt sore tight and just horrible. My therapist reckons it's normal due to energy channels being activated and should subside in a few days. Is this accurate?
Yes this is quite a common occurrence, very often it takes the body a few days to adjust to what the treatment is asking it to do. Try using a hot water bottle on the area to reduce the tension and see if this qi gong stretching routine, a couple of times a day, helps…😁

i have felt very drowsy and lightheaded since i had acu. weak and very tired. but that was 4 days ago?
Hi Linda, sorry to hear you’ve not been feeling great. It can happen sometimes for people who have autoimmune conditions or chronic fatigue.
There is also the possibility of being over treated, this is when you’re trying to do too many things at once & the body doesn’t have the resources available for what you’re asking it do.
Sometimes it could be a system reset, the treatment has reminded your body how it actually feels, without the aid of quick fixes. This is common for people who have been burning the candles at both ends for too long!
Without knowing more about why you went for treatment, how the practitioner diagnosed & treated you and what your lifestyle looks like it’s had for me to say why this happened…
Get more rest, drink plenty of fluids & get in touch with your practitioner if it persists…
Hope you feel better soon 😁
I had my first session and about an hour after i had tremendous pain in my lumbar region that was the worse pain i ever felt. It went away in about 15 minutes, but the pain was incredible.
Wow that doesn’t sound good Zoe! Were you having treatment for back pain? Was it a Chinese Medicine practitioner that you went to see or a physical therapist who does acupuncture? 😁
@@ABetterPace yes, the treatment was for back pain, and it was a licensed person performing the treatment. It was like my entire lumber region locked up, the pain was really bad, but it went away, but today is day 2 and the pain is subsided, but I still feel weird.
Hmmm that sounds intense, not something I’ve come across before. It sounds like it’s possible the muscles went into spasm after the treatment which isn’t very common at all! I would definitely mention it to your practitioner when/if you go back, they may be able to advise you better, I’m flying blind without more info. Keep the lower back warm till then, you can buy heat patches on Amazon or use a hot water bottle when at home…👍🏻
@@ZoeiiZiZZles did the pain eventually go away. I'm going through the same my neck feels worse than it did. My acupuncturist says it's normal. That it's working towards releasing the pain.
@@starlite7785 it did but for a few hours it was very intense
I was treated for dizziness and vertigo, it got so much worst two days after. So hopwfully it will get better. Its.not.my first session. But for some reason i get worst for few days.
Hi Ruta, so sorry to hear that you're struggling with dizziness & vertigo & that it seems to be worse for the couple of days after treatment. It's not uncommon for this to happen when dealing with conditions that affect the head/vision as it is the start and end point of several channel systems. Next time try to massage the sole of your foot by gently rotating a golf ball or use a thumb, there is a great point, called Kidney 1, that is quite effective at descending any symptoms focussed on the head. Hope this helps & thanks for getting in touch...😁
@@ABetterPace thank you! Ah thats an interesting tip i will try it!
Happy to help 😁
Did you feel better? Are you cured now after being treated?
This was very helpful and has prepared me more for my first proper acupuncture treatment I am going to have so thank you!
I will say though the interjections in your videos were quite distracting and for me personally quite annoying. It took away from what otherwise was a great video and super helpful but I almost stopped watching because they were too much. I can see what you were trying to do with the editing but I personally think you don’t need them as everything you said and how you presented it was enough. Mean this in a constructive way not to criticise.
Thanks for your advise!
Hi Yaz, thank you for the feedback, I'm currently working on a new series of videos so that's really helpful! Glad to hear that you found the video useful, I hope you enjoy your treatment & please let us know how you got on...😀
P.s. Love your rendition of Robin S, very powerful!
Why have blood after accupanture???
Hi Jeron, thank you for your question! Acupuncture points are mostly located away from major veins and arteries or the guidance for needling depth takes into account the vessels beneath so is therefore very safe when practiced by trained professionals. Sometimes though it is possible to catch a micro vessel like a capillary & this can cause a minor bleed from the puncture area or underneath the skin. In the majority of cases this results in a small bruise but can be more serious if there are complications because of a health condition or medication that thins the blood. This is why most practitioners will take a thorough case history before working with a client to identify any potential red flags of using needles for treatment. Hope this makes things a bit clearer for you, thanks for watching 😁
I heard Acupuncture shouldn't be done straight away after food, why is that? and how long should I wait after food before getting the treatment.Thank you.
Hi Iman, thank you for your question! I honestly haven’t heard of this before, perhaps it’s a rule of a particular practitioner as the only thing I can think of is that it will affect some of the diagnostic techniques we use. It can change the nature of the pulse and the tongue which are key areas used to work out what’s happening internally.
I always recommend that people shouldn’t come for treatment on an empty stomach as this can increase the risk of having needle shock, a very rare but uncomfortable side effect. If it is a requirement of your acupuncture practitioner to not eat before treatment I would say that leaving a 1-2hr gap would be sufficient but it’s best to check with them first!
Hope this helps & thanks for watching 😁
