The moment in the video when this chick said at 2:06 "The thought of having a bunch needles poking out of your body sounds terrifying, why would anyone do this to themselves", while the camera immediately focused on the scary looking piercing next to her lower lips, was priceless.

I've been getting acupuncture for TMJ and migraines for years. I knew other people who'd had good results with it, and figured best case, it helps me, worst case, I get poked with a few needles. Turns out I hadn't even realized how much pain I was in until it went away.. I'm in more of a maintenance mode now and could definitely tell the difference last year when I wasn't able to go regularly due to COVID.

I got acupuncture for insomnia too and I was very skeptical at the beginning too but it worked. I was nervous the first time but after that first session I started to love it. So weirdly relaxing.

Say what you want about it. Acupuncture is the only thing that got me to stop biting my nails. I had a serious nail biting problem and nothing worked. To the point where they would bleed and become infected. I wouldn’t even have a nail on some fingers until they grew back. Not even anxiety medicine helped. I tried acupuncture because I know someone who did it and said to just give it a try. I have not bitten my nails in over 10 years now. I am never anxious or stressed anymore either. Idk how but it worked.

My mom has always said that acupuncture treatments she had back in the early 80's is what helped her to quit smoking cigarettes.

Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling Acupuncture and dry needling are often confused with each other. Both procedures involve the insertion of needles into the skin. However, there are some important differences between these two procedures. Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been used for over 3000 years. It is based on the belief that there is a life force energy, known as qi, that flows through the body. The goal of acupuncture is to restore balance to the body by correcting any imbalances in the flow of qi. Dry needling is a relatively new procedure that has only been used for the past few decades. It is based on the Western medical model of anatomy and physiology. The goal of dry needling is to release muscle tension and trigger points. There are some similarities between acupuncture and dry needling. However, there are also some important differences. Acupuncture is a holistic approach to medicine that looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms of the disease. Dry needling is a more targeted approach that focuses on specific muscle groups.

I went to try it for something else and it is the MOST relaxing thing ever. I suffer from anxiety anyway but I didn’t expect my body to feel so relaxed especially that it wasn’t my intention for the session!

My doctor said I should go to Physiotherapy for my headaches and they ended up doing acupuncture on me. I didn't realise how tense and how much stress my neck and shoulders were holding until it was gone. I'm going back again for me anxiety when I get time

It's the first time I'm seeing this in real ....I only ever saw it in Kung Fu Panda 😅...looks relaxing but I'm terrified of needles 😅😂

Updates please! I wanna know how she feels/if she comes back

I’ve always been interested in acupuncture and wondered how effective it might be. Fascinating, and I love natural remedies and treatments. I can’t help but wonder, why no gloves worn by the practitioner? Maybe it’s not crucial in acupuncture, just curious 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does anyone else have a collection of fears towards acupuncture? Here are mine: 1. I will fall off of the table or something will fall on me, causing the needles to stab me deeper inside. 2. The acupuncturist will miss a needle at the end of the treatment. I will put on my clothes and be surprised by a sharp stabbing pain. 2. The acupuncturist will slip with the needle in their hand and stab me in the eye. 3. The acupuncturist will have a random episode of madness and stab me in my eye because they don’t like me. These are my genuine fears. Anyone else?

Traditional Chinese acupuncture works. Do your research, though, and get the real deal from a board certified Traditional Chinese Acupuncturist (TCM trained) who has studied for three years or more. There is acupuncture from physios or GP's who have done an adjuct course in a few days, and that's not the real deal. That's just trigger point. There's acupuncture, then there is acupuncture perfored by a real acupuncturist. Very different.

Acupuncture should be covered by insurance. There is a probably a political reason it's not covered. Because if people can be healed with such a simple remedy then what happens to all doctor's jobs and medications that they sell profit from.

I go at least once a month and if I skip a treatment I feel it for sure!

Everytime I think of this I remember watching Final Destination

I would love to try this! 😍

Would you guys consider doing another acupuncture video, but set in nyc? Maybe Mi Anne could do it

Mona Dan has such the soft spoken voice! ♨️♨️♨️🔥🔥. Keeping this video as one of my favorites!

This is very interesting but why no gloves?

Yikes! the procedure it’s self would give me anxiety! I hate needles ..

Thank you for sharing your experience ❤

I considered this for my chronic pain, but now seeing how deep the needles actually go, I'm a bit freaked out.

I never knew this was a thing, does it work for social anxiety?

Such beautiful nails

I'd love to try

But did it work long term? Need an update, curious…

allergies aren’t a cut and dry thing - they come and go as we age. also ‘blood circulation’ really??

I'm always afraid of needle getting broke 😅😅

I've tried full Traditional Chinese medicine treatment with herbs, acupuncture, moxa. They helped me tremendously. I had Hypothyroidism that I have no more. That was 10 years ago. I still visit TCM practitioner here and there for support.

Great Video!

Okay but I want to know how she slept that night!

Hahaha…if anything is going to raise anxiety, it’s getting needles stuck in you. I tried it, had needles in my ankle and bout lost my mind.
