The Art of Healing

The Art of Healing


        Acupunctures not only strengthen your lungs, but they allow you to heal at a faster pace. I had a football game every Friday night. And regardless who we were playing I went home with bruises and cuts. And of course I woke up sore the next morning. So instead of going once a month I changed my appointments to once a week, more specifically every Saturday morning. This worked out perfectly.
        Another benefit that I personally took from it was the diet plan. Along with being healed faster, the Acupuncture center thought it would be in my best interest to put on a few pounds. I guess I was a little undersized when it came to the average size of my opponents. So every other visit, they would apply a needle to a specific spot on my stomach that would enhance my appetite. They knew hundreds and hundreds of places on your body that would either take your appetite away or increase it. They knew points that would run your cold off in a matter of hours(if you were lucky).
        Getting acupunctures, in my eyes, doesn’t have any downsides. Regardless of what you go in for you are going to walk out feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. They even offer herbs in pill form that you can take with meal. Although it may not seem like it, those tiny little herbs are working hard to better your immune system. I wish I could offer a trial in which you get a free 3 visits, but that’s out of my jurisdiction. So I guess I will have to rely on my words. I hope that one day you choose to make an appointment. And hey, if you don’t like it at least you can walk away and have the power to say that you went and had 30 needles plucked into your body.
        I decided to take a trip to the acupuncturist when I was having problems with asthma during football practice. One afternoon during football practice I had an asthma attack, it just so happens that one of my coaches’ wives was an acupuncturist. So he took my pads off and applied pressure to two pressure points on the back of my neck. And, suddenly like magic, my lungs opened up. He then suggested I go see his wife.

Acupuncture Center of La Jolla

My name is Aaron Taylor. I am eighteen and a freshman and Southwestern College. I decided to blog about the Chinese art of Acupuncture. Acupunctures may be utilized for a number of things and conditions. It may vary from depression or stress to a physical injury due to work or athletics. I personally have been around acupuncture clinics and offices for about 3 years now. Like many other people, I suffer from asthma. More specifically, I suffer from exercise-induced asthma. I’ve been involved in sports since I was about six years old. As I matured, the more I participated in sports the more I wound up at the acupuncture office.

I also wanted to give subscribers an insight to some of the benefits from acupunctures. By going weekly I managed to take in a lot of knowledge that I usually would not have been able to take in. for example, I learned that I have extremely week lungs. I always knew they were weak, just not that bad. My acupuncturist was able to tell me that my ying and yang was unbalanced, and that I would need certain points punctured in order to strengthen my lungs again. Now, like any other new comer, the thought of having needles thrust into your body is not very appealing. So I wasn’t exactly happy when I found out that I was going to have a total of 25 needles inserted on my front side alone

When I first tell people about my experience I always get the same response: “Doesn’t it hurt? I don’t understand how that will help you in the future.” Of course everyone is skeptical, as was I when I first arrived at the center. But now I consider myself a complete advocate for it. I am proud to say that I have not suffered from an asthma attack for over a year now. The process of this is painless. It enlightened me so much that I actually took time to research the art and its history. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to experience a cool new way to ease your mind and pain. Along with pain relief, the acupuncture center offers ways in which you can better your health. They offer organic tea and convince you to buy organic food and beverages.
