First, I have to mention how difficult it is to find time for another treatment. I don't mind the treatments, but it's hard to take off work 2-3 times a week for 2 hours. The treatment isn't that long, but the place isn't too close to me.
I learned more about how all this works...about the energy. Acupuncture is about energy. And while, I can grasp the concept of energy flow through the body, it is harder to believe and understand how the energy flows out of you.
She had been doing this same assessment on me each time I came, but I didn't really understand what was going on. Today she explained more. I lie on my back. I hold my left hand up and she presses down and tells me to resist. Same on the right side. Then she puts a vile in my hand, tells me to resist as she tries to press my hand down. By this, she is assessing the resistance. Strong resistance shows I'm good on the issue and weaker resistance means I need to work on the issue. How to determine what the "issue" is...it's by the vile she has placed in my hand. So, for example, she put the vitamin C vial, and I was weak in the resistance. This means I need vitamin C treatment.
I asked her what the difference between the vials were. And she said even she doesn't know. The vials were labeled, so she knows what each represents. The small vials get placed in an empty baby food jar. I hold onto that jar during the session, while the needles are in me. When I'm done I rinse my hand with water to deactivate? the energy. There is some interaction between the energy and the vials, vials channel energy to focus on the specific energy of the vial...? Can't really explain it.
The sessions I've been to have "opened" me. Now I can be treated for specific allergies. She's going to treat me for eggs, milk, fruit, all the basic food items. Similar to my allergist, she is assessing me for various food and environment allergens. Although I was negative with the scratch tests, the energy tests for allergies is different. My energy level for eggs, might be weak, but not weak enough that it would show up on a scratch test. The cumulative weaknesses are what manifests as problems, for me skin issues.
I have a relatively healthy diet. And, since all this has happened I've really made a point to eat well. But, she went through my food log and says to cut out dairy, wheat and sugar, even fruit sugar. I had so much fruit on my log (it's summer!) but she recommends only apples and papaya. I didn't go through all the fruit, but those are the two she wrote down.
She also wanted me to take something for candida...it was some candidas supplements. She talked about gut health, gas...stuff i've read about and seems to affect many women my age.
It's interesting the crossover of her medical plans. She prescribes more supplements than herbs. I asked about whether she prescribes herbs and she said that she likes supplements better.
And my pillow is all wrong. She wants me to get the tempur pedic memory foam pillow. It's expensive!
