I usually tell my patients that that answer lies in their ability to make some changes in their daily lives that will aid the progress along. If the situation it’s truly heat in the liver, see if your acupuncturist can help you sort out the cause for the heat in the liver. The most common cause of that condition would be alcohol consumption, but there are certainly others, such as certain medications.

Acupuncture causing insomnia?

First of all, I'm sorry to hear of what you're going through. It's very hard to tell what exactly is going without seeing in person, but when a person is housebound/bed bound for READ MORE
First of all, I'm sorry to hear of what you're going through. It's very hard to tell what exactly is going without seeing in person, but when a person is housebound/bed bound for so long, their circulation of blood and energy slows way down, which leads to more fatigue and pain. This becomes a chicken and egg cycle eventually, trying to determine what is causing what. Acupuncture inherently improves circulation, which can be likened to revving an engine. In a person who's circulation is needing improvement, revving that engine, so to speak, can cause some discomfort or abnormalities at first. My inclination to urge you to stick with it. I feel your body is attempting to find it's healthy circulation and it may take a short time of working the kinks out, if you will.

Does acupuncture really increase height?

Hi!

While acupuncture does have points that are indicated to strengthen the spine, which can energetically aid in the patient’s ability to stand up straighter, it will not increase physical height outside of that ability. I believe a good alternative would be to explore Pilates.

Can acupuncture cause muscle spasms?

In cases where there was originally a great deal of muscle tension, a sedentary lifestyle and/or neuropathy, the increase in blood and fluid circulation that takes place when acupuncture READ MORE
In cases where there was originally a great deal of muscle tension, a sedentary lifestyle and/or neuropathy, the increase in blood and fluid circulation that takes place when acupuncture needles are inserted can cause odd sensations after a treatment, including muscle cramping and/or discomfort. This is simply due to the increase in movement, where it once wasn't moving well. I liken it to starting an engine that's been sitting cold for a long time. It's important to keep in mind that good circulation is the key to good health. So, while there can be some discomfort now, it indicates better movement overall, which is essential to improving health.

How many acupuncture treatments are needed for sciatica?

Does acupuncture cause itching?

That’s a good question. If you’ve had acupuncture and have experienced some itching where the needles were inserted right after treatment, it’s due to a small amount of histamine the body might produce because of the foreign object (needle). It’s a temporary effect and should clear in an hour. Otherwise, Acupuncture is very effective at alleviating itching skin, such as in eczema.

Can acupuncture help with aging skin?

Absolutely, for two crucial reasons. Increasing circulation to any area of the body, increases blood flow, and therefore delivery of oxygen and nutrients, healing and promoting READ MORE
Absolutely, for two crucial reasons. Increasing circulation to any area of the body, increases blood flow, and therefore delivery of oxygen and nutrients, healing and promoting new cell production. Also, anytime needles are inserted into the skin, it has been proven in multiple research studies that the microtrauma caused by the needles causes the healing response to begin, which immediately increases collagen and elastin production, as well as new skin cell production.
