Frequently Asked Questions

We use single-use, sterile needles with an extremely fine diameter—about as thin as a strand of hair. You may feel a slight prick at the insertion point, or sometimes a tingling, heavy, or electric-like sensation. This indicates the arrival of Qi, meaning the acupuncture treatment has begun to take effect.

Acupuncture is a natural method that stimulates the body's self-healing abilities by restoring the balance of vital energy. It is particularly effective for relieving pain, reducing stress, improving sleep, and addressing various digestive, hormonal, and emotional issues. By acting on the nervous, hormonal, and immune systems, it promotes overall well-being.

The number of sessions depends on your condition, its severity, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people feel improvement after just one session, while chronic issues may require more regular treatments over several weeks.  Acute or recent problem can be solved very quickly. For long-standing or chronic conditions, treatment usually takes longer, often starting with weekly sessions for a period of 6–8 weeks.

Yes, acupuncture can usually be safely combined with your current medical treatments or medications. However, it’s important to inform your practitioner about any medications or treatments you are receiving so that your acupuncture sessions can be tailored to your needs.

Moxibustion works by gently warming specific acupuncture points with the heat of burning mugwort, a medicinal herb. The warmth penetrates the body to stimulate circulation, boost energy (Qi), and dispel cold or stagnation. This helps the body restore balance, strengthen immunity, relieve pain, and support natural healing processes.

Moxibustion can help with pain, arthritis, digestive issues, menstrual problems, fatigue, infertility support, and even turning a breech baby. It works best for conditions linked to cold, weakness, or poor circulation.

Acupuncture stimulates the body’s energy flow and restores balance, while moxibustion adds deep warmth to strengthen Qi, improve circulation, and dispel cold. Used together, they complement each other—acupuncture moves the energy, and moxibustion nourishes and reinforces it—creating a stronger, longer-lasting healing effect than acupuncture alone.
