What Causes Needle Shock in Acupuncture?

Needle shock in acupuncture rarely happens but it does. Practitioners described it as a
feeling of faintness, chilliness and slight nausea. According to health experts, needle shock
most likely to happen in patients who are nervous about needles.

Meanwhile exhaustion and fatigue can also be contributing factors. Most of the time, needle
shock occurs when a patient has low blood sugar prior to an acupuncture treatment. You see,
one of the health benefits of acupuncture is to lower sugar levels in the body. When a patient
has not eaten before a treatment, there is a higher chance that a patient may experiencing
needle shock.

While needle shock can be uncomfortable, it is not considered harmful. This is why you need
to talk to a licensed acupuncturist to provide you with information with possible side-effects.
This includes how to avoid needle in acupuncture treatment.

Bloating: How to Relieve with Acupressure

Bloating is one of the most common symptoms of stress. For some people, stress
translates into breakouts, dry skin, itchy scalp or even migraines. However, for many,
stress seems to affect their gut. You see when you are anxious , overwhelmed or feel
threatened your body switches into “survival mode”. You may have heard it as
“fight-or-flight response.

During this phase, your body produces a series of chemicals to help you “stay safe” and
deal with the threat. During this mode, your body also turns off certain parts that are
not necessary at the moment. Sadly, the digestive system is not a priority function in
times of need. Consequently, food will not be digested properly resulting in a bloated
belly and sometimes a full-on stomachache.

The challenging part is, you are exposed to daily threats. Thus, it is important to take a
deep breath and calm yourself. One of the best ways to de-stress and beat bloating is
through acupuncture. It is a safe and proven effective holistic treatment for healing the
body.
