Yesterday I went to an acupuncturist. It was kind of spontaneous but I thought I would give it a try. The place is Lincoln Square Acupuncture and they fit me in right after work. The staff was really nice and calming. I sat in this chair with a heated blanket while I got my health consultation. Nothing they told me seem to conflict with any western medicine practices and I wanted to give it a try. The woman stuck these tiny needles in my arms, legs and feet. She basically touched me a few times and it was over. The needles are so tiny that you do not even feel them. After she was done she told me to sit and relax for a 30 minutes which I was glad to do. Next she took to me to another room where she tapped my head with a tiny hammer. That didn't hurt either. Her voice was very soothing and she recommended staying away from spicy foods. They also gave me some herbs and I paid on their sliding scale which was a relief as well. She said that their philosophy of Chinese medicine would help return me to a state of health. The nap part alone was worth the money. The experience was really refreshing. I have plans to return and get my chi on, or cleared, or whatever. If my hair grows back I will consider it an investment. I don't mean to come off as a non-believer, I believe the body to be amazing and have many self-healing qualities. If this works I would definitely consider going there for other ailments. But, one thing at a time.
