Do you suffer from any of the following: anxiety, insomnia, congestion and indigestion, knee pain? Yes? Well, acupuncture can help you.
What is acupuncture? Hell if I can explain it. All I know is that it works. When I moved, finding a new acupuncturist was at the top of the list. My health insurance covers it, so it's only a co-pay (check yours). I called my insurance, and there were so many to choose. I went through the list, looking at their credentials. Bingo! Maryland University for Integrative Health, one of the best acupuncture schools in the nation. My second criteria was someone who was a little old school. All signs pointed to A1.
Now, the old school way is not gentle. In fact, Wun Hee lovingly calls me kitty cat, because I howl so much. But I'm a big baby. However, I suffer through a momentary zap or sting, so my issues can be resolved. The newer way--not going as deep--isn't as effective immediately (on me), imho. After a while, your qi will flow. Where it hurts is where you're blocked. It will go away, the more you go.
After 4 visits, Wun Hee has me sleeping better. I now reach REM sleep every night and remember my dreams. I have better clarity during the day and my digestive issues are evening out. We're still working on my knee pain, but that will probably take longer, since there are residual issues from breaking my patella 3 years ago.
Each time, Wunhee takes copious notes on my feedback and where she's needling. This isn't a silver bullet, as many people like to think. Some tweaking needs to happen. Time needs to pass.
She finally hit the "formula" on round three. Hurrah! This fourth visit, I finally fell asleep on the table--complete relaxation, exhale.
As a response to the other poster, Wun Hee has never proselytized to me, while I've been in her office. I'm sure that if you said you were uncomfortable with anything, she would take note and adjust it like the professional that she is (I did regarding the old school way, and we worked up to it). She really has a gift and is very kind and loving. Take advantage of the Groupon offer.
I also took a star off for the parking lot. No matter what time of day I go, maneuvering the parking lot and/or finding parking is anxiety inducing. It's a good thing I have an appointment with Wun Hee.
Notes: Wunhee may open a package of needles and use some on some patients and then use the remaining on another. She also does not wear gloves and may wipe away blood with her bare hand. Both of these things may make people feel uncomfortable. read more
