Quatzequatel asked:


I have a friend who is an acupuncturist. I know that it’s supposed to get my “chi” flowing and stuff, but is it supposed to help with depression? Have you or anyone you know had success using acupuncture (or acupressure) for this purpose? I am very open minded, just don’t want to waste MORE money trying to “fix myself” with a “quick fix”.

The person in question has suffered from severe shoulder and finger pain for years. Her G P can find no reason for this and just keeps prescibing pain killers. She has asked me as an aricular acupuncturist if I can help. So I was wondering if anyone has had any success with a certain protocol for these symtoms.

Parker asked:


I suffer from depression (being treated with medication, it’s improving, but still an issue). I’m also slightly overweight (workout a lot, but I indulge too much).

Has anyone experiened acupuncture for their ailments (beyond pain) with success?

Please explain?

Thank you.
I’m not looking for a panacea, but added help.

I had acupuncture about 24 days ago and then had a period the next day. I am hoping it will help me to conceive but I am charting my temps and don’t seem to have had a rise as of yet.
