Acupuncture


General Questions

1. What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body intended to promote healing, alleviate pain, and improve overall well-being.

2. How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture is believed to stimulate the body's natural healing processes by regulating the flow of energy, or "qi," along pathways called meridians. It may also influence the nervous system, release endorphins, and improve blood circulation.

3. What conditions can acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture can possibly be used to treat:


Chronic pain (back, neck, shoulder)
Headaches and migraines
Stress and anxiety
Insomnia
Digestive disorders
Allergies
Menstrual and menopausal symptoms

4. Is acupuncture safe?

When performed by a trained and licensed practitioner, acupuncture is generally safe. It uses sterile, single-use needles to minimize the risk of infection.

5. Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people feel little to no pain during acupuncture. Some individuals may experience tingling, warmth, or a dull ache at the needle site, which typically subsides within a short period. If you experience any discomfort, please notify your practitioner, who can adjust the treatment as needed.

Before and During Treatment


6. What should I expect during my first acupuncture session?

The initial session typically includes tongue and pulse diagnosis and consultation, during which the practitioner inquires about your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle. Treatment usually involves the placement of needles and may last 20–30 minutes.

Once the needles are inserted, you can lie back, close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax, and let the acupuncture do its job.

7. How should I prepare for an acupuncture session?
Hydrate and eat a light meal or snack before your appointment to prevent lightheadedness or headaches. It’s best not to be hungry or thirsty when you are being treated.

Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms, lower legs, and knees, or bring a change of clothes with you.


Avoid caffeine or alcohol before treatment.

Before your initial consultation, refrain from eating or drinking anything that alters the color of your tongue and avoid brushing your tongue on the morning of your appointment. This interferes with your tongue diagnostic method.

Please use the restroom before your appointments begin, even if you don’t think you have to. Acupuncture treatments can stimulate your kidneys and bladder to do their job faster, and you definitely don’t want to GO after all the needles are in place.

8. How long does a session last?

Sessions typically last between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your condition and treatment plan.

Effectiveness and Results

Avoid strenuous activities, alcohol, and caffeine for the rest of the day.
Relax, stay hydrated, and rest if you feel tired.

NAET involves identifying allergens through muscle response testing (applied kinesiology) and then applying acupressure or acupuncture techniques to desensitize the body to these substances. It is intended to "reprogram" the body's response to allergens, reducing or eliminating side effects or harmful reactions.

3. What conditions can NAET address?

It can possibly address a wide range of sensitivities, including those related to food, environmental factors, chemicals, heavy metals, and other substances.

4. Is NAET safe?

NAET is generally considered safe when performed by trained practitioners.

NAET is a non-invasive technique that typically involves gentle acupressure or acupuncture, which are generally not painful.


Before and During Treatment

6. What should I expect during my first NAET session?

The initial session typically includes a pulse and tongue diagnosis,  evaluation of your health history, and identification of potential allergens using muscle response testing. If allergens are identified, the practitioner may proceed with the desensitization treatment during the same session.

7. How should I prepare for a NAET session?
It's advisable to wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothing, stay hydrated, have a light meal before the session, and refrain from wearing jewelry. Inform your practitioner about any medications or ongoing treatments.

NAET is generally considered safe with or without reactions, depending on the sensitivity to the substance. However, some individuals might experience temporary fatigue, headache, or mild discomfort following a session during the detoxification period. Patients are taught to perform self-balancing treatment as part of a home care protocol to prevent adverse effects and reinforce the treatment.

12. What should I avoid after a NAET session?
Typically, patients are advised to avoid contact with the treated allergen for at least 25 hours after treatment to allow the body to adjust. However, some avoidance periods may vary depending on the severity of sensitivity. It's important to follow the instructions provided by your practitioner.

13. Can NAET be combined with other complementary or alternative treatments?
NAET can often be integrated with other therapies. It's essential to inform your NAET practitioner about any ongoing treatments to ensure coordinated care.
