This may be old news but just to share it with you anyway............

My councillor advised me to try acupuncture to relieve some of my stress and I guess anger, after the turmoil of the last 15 years. I gave it a go and completed my 6th session yesterday along with taking a selection of Chinese herbs.

The needles were put in my head, neck, stomach, hands and feet, must admit was a bit freaked out at the prospect. But hell did it work, never felt so chilled! Happy days..............

I am addicted to sleeping pills as I would never sleep without them, I know feel confident of slowly getting off them. yawn

That is something that I have thought about many times. It's good to hear someone else's experience. I love your attitude about conquering your addiction. Kudos!

I wish I could afford it, it has always intrigued me. I think if you are open to it, the change will come :) Great share!

Hi Sunflower

It's my understanding that if you are on benefits of some sort the treatment can be obtained for free, need to obviously check your area. I got it done in North London at the Chinese School of Medicine. If I was willing to let a student do it under strict supervision it would have been £15 a session.

Hope this helps! biggrin

Speck, I am in New England, and I do have insurance, but have no idea if that is covered. I will have to look :) Thanks!
