Re: Re: Acupuncture

[Guest guest]

Dear Dee:

Different acupuncturists put needles different places BUT in general they will

prob put a few needles on the GB meridian which runs from the face at the ear to

the 4th toe on each foot. The ends of the meridian have the most stregnth to

open up the blocked energy channels.

Also other meridians have " WOOD " points which will tie directly to the Liver and

GB, the " Wood " elements. That being said (confused yet?) I have generally had

needles stuck in my leg, foot, face, ear, hand or back (not all at the same

time). I have never had needles on my front body that I can remember.

I had needles all over a shoulder once when I was having a time with shoulder

pain, but that is as close to " local to the pain " I have ever experienced. I

think you could specify, were the practitioner to suggest the GB organ, that you

preferred another approach, ie foot and hands.

The acupuncture point I have been taught to use for acupuncture to " open " the GB

organ is GB 34 (might have that number wrong) which is on your calf below the

knee on the outer side. Poke around and see if you find a sore spot.

Another potent spot is a place called 3 Yin crossing where the Kidney, Spleen

(pancreas) and Liver meridians intersect. It is on the inside of the leg, 4

finger widths above the ankle bone (ie, put your little finger on the ankle and

wrap the rest of your hand around your leg and by the index finger is about the

spot on most people). Poke around there. On most people with impaired liver

function it is very painful. Slowly work it over a period of days, for a few

minutes each morning and night and you can effect great change to your health

and vitality.

Hope this helps.

In regards to acupuncture, I'm considering

that type of therapy for my GB issues, but I was wondering

where exactly do they place the needles for the GB therapy?

is it in the stomach area? or back???

I'm very squemish about needles....and have scar tissue

from a C-Section when I had my twins. So I'm not sure I would

want any needles in my stomach.

thanks, Dee

" c section area is a no fly zone, funny "

Please explain why that is funny? My incision is vertical

from my navel down to the pubic area.

I found a tender spot on my left leg in the exact spot

you described, the right leg doesn't have the tender spot.......How often

should I work this area?

I was trying to say in not so clear terms is that all

areas, no matter what has been done should be ok to be

used in accupuncture.

My doctor put needles in my left calf (which didn't hurt) and then into

my gallbladder which really hurt as she moved them a bit to stimulate

the area. I didn't notice anything different though afterwards.

Namaste,

Dear Dee:

Let me offer a very dumb sounding but true answer....until it doesnt hurt.<G>

.. I would suggest you start with 5 minutes or so at least twice a day --

getting up, going to bed. Got more time...in traffic, etc. Do it more. I would

not

stimulate it more than 20-30 minutes TOTAL a day -- but we all know my bias

is that gently and slowly is better.

Give it a start and let us hear how much improvement you notice.
