Acupuncture question

[Guest guest]

HI, I'm a new member here. I have a question for those of you familiar

with acupuncture. I have been taking treatments since August of 2006.

Now I go once a week. This is for migraine and fibromyalgia.

 

I have felt like the needles are still in my ears for days, maybe not

the needles, but the energy type of feeling. Has anyone else

experienced this? Does it mean it's still working actively or what?

It's just kind of weird to go through your day & bring your therapy

with you this way. There is a bit of ringing with it, too.

 

Thanks,

 

Sue

Hi Sue-

I am certainly no expert, but have had many acupuncture

treatments...i'm thinking that the residual " feeling " you are having

is due to the movmement of " chi " (energy) through the meridians, (or

perhaps this meridian is still blocked) the whole idea behind

acupuncture is to open up the meridians so that energy can flow

freely throughout the body. the ears are especially

sensitive...have you ever been diagnosed with tinnitus(ringing in

the ears) before? i would have that checked out...especially since

you suffer from migraines...you may have a middle ear condition...

 

i am a migraine sufferer myself, and have found acupuncture to be

helpful...the only problem is not being able to get to the

acupuncturist when i'm in pain...i don't go weekly, but probably

should...if only my insurance allowed me more than 3 visits per

year....

 

good luck and feel better-

acup is one of the most interesting ways of life ...that i have/and like most

others...just begun to touch......please understand....this is only my

viewpoint.....records show that the use of needle-like aparatus's were

first made of bone...later silver...then gold...and gold alloys.....to the

scientific questionerr....why?

 

first i would like to say in the older...{older is a misnomer as it

can be confused with ancient or outdated not modern

etc..}..system...it took a minimum of 8 years to dedicately study under a

master....and one could work for that system of mastership and never

reach the point of total knowledge..or awarness.......because.like science it

is an ongoing progressive

example.....one who has earned a degree in .a university

[universe-city]...could have a doctorate or masters in physics or

theology......but would never know all there is to know of that subject

the other part to this is to be of service to others.and an

encouragement.and wherever help can be given.to be ..of service

eventually others would be more interested in tryng to learn more of

health.and persue the roll of mastership

now back to the needles............not actually needles...but mini

electrodes.....that because of where and how they are placed...redirect

and reopen a blocked or closed circut..that in a state of health is known

as normal...if we talk of physical health..........that feels to us like

heaven......we are in close attunement with god our source.......and we

know.....a great secrete..{sacredness]...................accupe.....calls this

chi or ki .......this is also the root word in chemistry........or the

mystery of chi.......all these flows are one flow...or developements of

one creative central flow............that is continually moving throughout

its creation ......its properly understood as a - continuous functional

energy flow-....every healing modality...no matter its name........or

religeous...interpretation.depends on ...this interesting way of

life....................thats as close to what i

can say...............the energy flowing through you....me every living

thing.........produces life....................it functions.....it has a job

to do....................one particular flow is an extension of others

the idea prevails in all these systems that at noon...12:00...the sun is

highest in the sky..and is giving its maximum energy to anyone....and

that noon time/though it seems to be noon at one place....is 4:00 am or

6:00 pm someplace else.........confusing...yes and no..............i phone

paris france and ask what time it is........if i get all tied up in my

clock...and don't know that they have the same 24hr system..i could get all

upset that they don't know what time it is...or that my clock is

wrong........................the root idea in the accp system is that at

certain times...2 hour increments....from noon ,,,,every living thing on

the planet ...takes part in a functional energy flow...that produces life

along its flow.....in 24 hrs...thus 12 flows...one flow is from 4 to six

am and called lung-function-energy -flow.....it comes from the previous

flow....liver/function.....and circulates

throughout..its dezignated path..doing its job to the best of its ability

harmonizing/building tissue..revitalizing where it can.........this is a most

remarkable flow......though none of the others are less or more so...as all

are continual extensions........and there is still energy flowing in the

other areas...........example if i can use time though it is 400 am

now...it is also 8:00 pm and...2:30...elseware.............hint...i cannot

slow or speed up time but i can be more efficient...........i have

within me a system of.time.yet hidden in that system is much more....the

practioners that really know the system flows..harmonize themselves

accordingly....example at a certain time...do dishes...spend 2 hours in the

garden........go shopping..........they can rhyme their lives to the flow of

day and do a great variety of things because they do not congest their

systems....thus the tau...or way of life......did

you ever have a day when you could get nothing done?...........you could

be out of harmony with a flow pattern....................if the lung function

energy flow is in harmony..........life is at ease..........if its out of

harmony there is disease.......................that flow is related to and

helps all functions of the body.the exchange of air is just as important to

yr muscles...and circulatrion and skin..as it is to

walking../talking/playing/working................if the flow is out of

sinq..orlacks the freedom of expression it needsbut here is the gift of

all healing modalities....though we may have unknowingly impared these

flows we can with knowledge..get them flowing

again...............................reflexology....can do this...because at

some time energy flows through the hands and feet..and the

ears.......accupressure can........to...........becausejust holding a sore spot

can bring a relieving.....i am

hurting....you hug me you encourage me..{cour...heart}...i feel

better.........well on a finer small and very exact level....thats what

happens in accupressure........a lot of small hugs..................it

works in reiki...notice the ki..........and it works whenever we use our

hands...in prayer......in holding hands...in massage..inwashing....doing

dishes...and cooking suppr................because these flows flow through

the hands.they also flow through the wrists...and there are ways to..help

during any season......our choice in occupations..is reflective of these

flows....as some are considerd as tradesmen...others statesmen....others

governing..........some say a disharmony in weather changes can produce

anxieties...fears worries....thus illness...i can easily tell you...that the

flows that flow through the clavicles....need help....so by holding

them...we balance and harmonize..our inner

structure...and often feel a change at the ears or toes or thumbs....any

flow helps nutrition .......just a side note...the width of yr thumb

is not the same as mine...or anyone elses.but it matches 100% the

distance between accup points..on each of us...that measurement was

called one inch....check it out...12 of them make a foot....guess where

the yard is?........i said early needle/electrodes were bone....calcium

and magnesium is bone and cartilage...calcium needs mag for

bonding....other point...there is calcium in most of the muscles of the

body............there is a togetherness here...........hemogloben in the

bloodcontains iron....both one of the simple magnets...and the circulation

of the blood is interrelated........so?what a wonderous

bio/chi.michael..plasmic..organism we are..a walkin/talkin library of

creation

Accupuncture may work for migraine. I am doubtful

whether it will work for fibromyalgia. Accupuncture

should not betaken continuously. After 10 to 15

sittings, you should take break for 2 to 3 months.

Then go again if required. Accupuncture is nothing but

a pain reliever.

I am not an acupuncture expert. However, Acupuncture is good for

many illness, besides pain reliever. if you visit

http://nccam.nih.gov/health/acupuncture/

you will find it has effect for " adult postoperative and

chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and in postoperative dental pain.

There are other situations--such as addiction, stroke

rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow,

fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low-back pain, carpal

tunnel syndrome, and asthma "

 

I am quite sure myself that acupuncture has very good effect for

stroke rehab treatment. I have witnessed how well the stroke

patients recoveried for their daily life after acupuncture

treatment. also research demonstrated acupoints actually overlap

with motor points, where the electrical stimulus is applied during

FES. currently the research results are half half. some support that

acupuncture is good for stroke rehab, some argue that it has effect,

but only placebo effect. However, there is no other placebo has so

good effect and so good rehab outcome.

I am not an acupuncture expert. However, i don't think you should

have such feels. usually during acupuncture, you should feel

soreness, numbness, swellness, and maybe a little bit pain. after

that you will feel comfortable and relaxed. if you feel like the

needles are still in FOR DAYS, you'd better ask the acupuncturist

next time. the outcome of acupuncture treatment is different and

depends on the experience of acupuncturists. acupuncturist with poor

experience sometime might not treat you well.

years ago.....i stopped to see a lady..and i do mean lady..because of all

the virtous traits that life can be blessed with......she honestly and humbly

exemplified them.........i was met at the door by her son...who refused to let

me see her...........his words we'er..........we have tried

everything.....the best medical doctors cannot help her...anymore......YOU

can do NOTHING

i felt his pain and anguish...and was momentarily confused...........i came to

see yr mother...may i have a glass of water

that stopped...the awakward cituation at the door...yes he said

I knew at that time..or event that i could not put a cituation like this

together.......that as i waited inside the doorway...a deep calm ,held

me.......he returned with the glass....i took it...walked passed him and to

the side of the lady sitting..by the window...set the glass on the

table.........we both smiled...as our eyes met.it is an honor to meet i

whisperd.and gently moved her elbow as her hands..folded together...this is a

priceless moment..i versed.....you will be well in three weeks...

i smiled and left....walking passed her son...i said -

I did NOTHING...tell know one...

years have gone to wherever they go.....she is has many great great grand

children......................me...i'm just a story teller now...............but

i often wonder who put the story together

Faith is commitant with progress..........is it strange that the

accupressure points were ..considerd as and called gates/doors

/windows/and...men.....i am ..convinced that the true doctor the true

healer....is within us all....................i do not know what is behind

the next door...but i know now that sometimes doors open outwards..or

inwards...and sometimes i have to back up to let the door

open.............somethings are secrets...only to be known by the one who has

that given by the creator...sacred is the same root word.......but i am

just a story teller........and sometimes the light shines through a

window..even at night

a placebo?....ah c'est beau ce....maybe we need more place-et

beau's.........but now i am just a story teller...yr right ...accupressure

does not remove headaches...it..the application of accupressure..{NO

PRESSURE}..makes way for the normal functional energy flow..to do its

job....and its job is to produce health and well being...thus no

headach...............most of the easy points are behind the knees...is it

little wonder t6hat the knee bones have been called patella

?.........sometimes..when i listen to the story teller in me...i have to have

a glass of water
