| The First Visit to an Acupuncture Practitioner | On the first session you will probably stay longer. It’s important for the practitioner to estimate your health conditions and to define what’s kind of approach in treatment you really require for the effective and fast relief.
Your practitioner will ask you questions how you feel, about your family medical history, your diet, digestive system, how you sleep  and about your emotional state. The practitioner will touch your pulse and define its strength and rhythm. He can estimate your health according to your tongue, its color. After all those done its possible to determine what treatment you need.
What we need is to find out which energy channels need adjusting for your specific complaint to improve, and which require treatment to stimulate your overall energy and vitality.
Going on the acupuncture session you should wear very pleasant to the touch and loose clothes so the acupuncturist could figure out how your body points work. These points are on torso, on your arms, legs. So keep in mind that you must wear accessible clothes. Don’t be surprised. There are about 500 acupuncture points on the body. If you choose professional therapists, he will be able to select around 10 or 12 points and work the whole session with them, stimulating and boosting their power.
The acupuncturist may also add to his therapy of the needle treatment moxa, a strong herb which is usually used to warm acupuncture points to promote the body's energy to flow smoothly.
Other methods of acupuncture in boosting anatomic points involve lasers or electro-acupuncture. Technic, which uses massage, or tapping with a rounded probe usually implemented in the treatment of children or even people that are afraid of needles. They a little differ from the acupuncture needles because they have finer form and are more solid. You will feel dull pane or tingling than these needles are inserted into your body. They will stay there for about 30 min. or more - depending on the required effect. It's normal to feel some heaviness in the limbs or even relaxation. You will be able to see the results really soon. The benefits from such treatment are obvious and just as relief from the exciting conditions but you will stimulate your energy level, appetite and sleep. You will feel the overall wellness.
