Acupuncture Vol. Whose had one?

[bravo]

I HATE needles so yesterday when my mom told me she was going to the acupuncturist and that i should also get one I laughed and gave her the

the acupuncturist said " no needles, check up" so i was like aight this cant be too bad. she then started to read my pulse and said some true #**%.

From just looking at my toungue and reading my pulse she said I had
attention problems--check (doc said i had adhd last year and im currently prescribed to vyvance (but i never take it unless i have an exam or an essay due)
stress problems--check (i tend to overanaylze things and make them out to be something far worse than what they are
lower back problem--check (this started only a few weeks ago and i just told my mom about it the previous day)
have a lot of mucus--check (been smokin herb since i was 16 so i always have some build up)

she also kept saying i have low liverenergy
i was convinced like

thinkin thatshe may be on to something so i got the acupuncture done and now honestly my lower back doesnt hurt at all.


she also sold me some crazy @!* vitamins one is called cordyceps, it comes from catipillars fungus that form mushrooms in the Tibetan Highlands

this #**% looks like the real deal lol

they also got me on reishi broken spores which i dont know much about but they were pretty expensive, some tea and some "ear tacks" that i gotta keepon for a week but they aint no way in hell im gonna start the semester with this #**% in my ear

the tea is disgusting but im used to chuggin protein shakes so it wasnt hard to take down
Havnt started taking the herbal capsules yet but im sure they work wonders ....


the visit ran my mom about 150 for each of us but i would highly recommend it over going to the doctors. trust me, i have great health insurance and eventhough they dont cover acupuncture visits, im planning to completely stop takin western medication unless its the only help


anyone else on NT messin with the needles????

when i got into a car accident when I was 18, i was referred to go see an acupuncturist for some minor back problems, that coupled with going to a chiropractorhelped me out alot and it was very relaxing. I only had it done on my back but the acupuncturist also used heated cups and placed it over every needle so itsucked up that area of skin and I'm guessing so that blood would be trapped in a specific area to help it heal.

Good stuff.
