Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture is generally not considered to be a painful treatment, and I practice a very gentle style of acupuncture.
Some clients may feel a slight prick or sensation when the needles are inserted, but this sensation is usually brief and fades quickly. It’s not nearly like giving blood or stubbing your toe!
-
Do you offer facial acupuncture treatments?
Yes, I offer Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation treatment, which is different to cosmetic acupuncture. Ask me for more if you are interested!
-
What is the difference between shiatsu and Zen Shiatsu?
Zen Shiatsu treatments involve the use of the practitioner’s fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows, feet, and knees. Zen Shiatsu also considers the “energetic” aspect of the human being (as developed in traditional East Asian medicine) in integration with the modern medical understanding of the body.
There are many styles of shiatsu. Some use the thumb only, others focus only on the modern anatomical and musculoskeletal aspect of the body.
-
Will my herbal medicine remedy work on the first try?
Sometimes, but not always. Some trial and error is to be anticipated in the initial prescription. Matching a formula to your situation is akin to a “lock and key”. The perfect formula opens up the solution for your problem.
-
Are medicinal herbs safe to be used in conjunction with modern pharmaceuticals?
Yes, except when explicitly understood not to. Then absolutely not. This is another reason to never explore herbal medicine on your own.
