Reasons For Acupuncture

17 March 2019

Living with chronic pain, illnesses and anxiety, I thought it would be valuable to discuss the reasons for acupuncture.

Now you may hear that acupuncture is for specific things, however it is used for a whole array of reasons, which I am going to touch upon throughout this post.

It’s a very valuable treatment for an array of reasons, from stress to pain.

Acupuncture is a procedure there fine needles are inserted into the skin. There are specific points in our bodies used for specific things.

For example, the hands are a great place for a lot of complaints, including stress. More direct to the spots such as the face/head for headaches/migraines.

You don’t feel the pain from the needles as they are so fine and not very deeply inserted.

A good tip is to try one thing, then keep going back for other things.

Reasons For Acupuncture

Stress/Relaxation

Believe it or not, you can have acupuncture for stress, relaxation and to help alleviate tension.

Rather than a massage, try acupuncture instead. It’s said to help you unwind and let out all that tension you have been carrying for so long.

Pain

Acupuncture is very good to have done when you have pain, it is said to work on the pain receptors in that area and help stimulate the nerve endings to ease the pain.

Of course, it will never get rid of the pain fully, but will certainly help in making it more manageable.

Headaches/Migraines

As this helps with tensions, it is believed to help with stress related headaches more so than other types.

However it can also ease the migraine type headaches also.

With it being relaxing, it can help in reducing the severity of the headaches we get.

Sleep

Promoting good sleep, it’s a way to relax your body which helps you have a peaceful night’s sleep.

Sometimes we can not sleep because of the stress, tension and every day issues we have. Whereas you will be so relaxed after that you will fall into a deep sleep.

There is many reasons and much more for having acupuncture, it’s worth giving it a go!

Hey babes, guess what I found out? Apparently, I am incapable of having a hobby without turning it into a full-blown obsession, so welcome to my corner of the internet.

If you are looking for a polished, perfect influencer who wakes up at 5 AM to drink green juice and meditate, you are in the wrong place, love. Testing Time Blog is the digital equivalent of my brain: a bit chaotic, very dramatic, and usually powered by caffeine and a “fuck this” attitude toward anything boring. I started this little slice of the web in my spare time because I wanted to spread some actual joy and share the absolute gems I’ve stumbled across while hyper-focusing on my latest interest.

Why You Should Probably Stick Around

Whether you are a fellow neurodivergent queen or just someone trying to navigate adulthood without losing your mind, I have got you covered. We are talking honest book reviews that actually tell you if a story is worth your precious time, wellness tips that don’t require a mortgage to fund, and lifestyle inspiration for the real world. I am obsessed with finding the best ways to live a better life from the comfort of my own home, which usually involves a lot of trial and error and at least one minor existential crisis a week.

Working from home is my literal life, so you can expect plenty of deep dives into making a WFH setup that actually works. We are talking about the best mugs to keep your tea warm for the three hours you forgot it existed, candles that make your office feel less like a prison, and the tools that actually help me stay on track. Connecting with you lot brings me so much joy, and if my rambling posts can bring a smile to your face or make your life 10% easier, then I’ve done my job.

Life Is Better When We Are Real

Let’s be honest, life is a lot. Between trying to be a functioning human, managing a house, and keeping a spicy brain in check, we all need a place to just be ourselves. I am here to share the real stuff, the funny stuff, and the “oh my god you have to try this” stuff. I want us to explore new things together, whether that is a life-changing air fryer hack or a book that makes you cry into your wine.

So, grab a drink, get comfy, and let’s dive into the chaos. I am so glad you are here to join the madness. Let’s stay curious, read more than we probably should, and try to live life to the fullest without accidentally buying another three notebooks we don’t need. Actually, who am I kidding? Buy the notebooks.

Love you, mean it! xo
