You will feel the benefits after your first session due to the immediate impact on your nervous system, stimulating dopamine and serotonin - so you’ll often have a little “Acu-high”.
However the effects of Acupuncture is more accumulative, each treatment brings your body closer to its natural state of balance - especially if you’ve been dealing with a chronic issue.
I recommend weekly sessions for the first 4 weeks.
When the body reaches its natural state of balance, it can resolve issues on its own much easier and you’ll notice old triggers don’t have the same impact anymore.
After this initial period, I suggest having treatments every couple of months, or during periods of high stress - for “maintenance” like getting your car serviced to keep it running optimally.
how does it feel?
You often do not feel the needle being inserted, some areas more than others. You can feel a strange or dull sensation, that feeling has a term “Deqi” It means the Qi has arrived and is completely normal - some people love the sensation, some not so much (including myself).
But shortly after the needles are inserted you will feel a deep sense of relaxation & often drift off to sleep!
