If you’re reading this, chances are that you’ve had an acupuncture treatment before or are seriously contemplating getting an acupuncture treatment.
Most people are familiar with the fact that an acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of needles in various places on the body in order to address their health concerns. Some people might even be familiar with a bit of acupuncture jargon and come to the acupuncturist saying “I think my Liver Qi is stuck,” (which I love when people do) and some people might even know about the names of some of the pathologies we diagnose in Chinese Medicine such as Wind-Cold.
Whether you are new to the world of acupuncture or can’t wait to have gua sha performed on that tight trapezius muscle, I hope you enjoy these fun facts about acupuncture.
