[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 553115, member: 13542"] Hi CJ, I've been going for professional acupuncture for over 20 years on a regular basis and generally, it doesn't hurt. However, since one of the significant benefits from this is that it unblocks energy in the meridians, at times there is a sort of pinch as the energy begins to flow. It's not the needle/pin which hurts going in, it's the blocked energy opening up and moving once again, which is a positive thing. I am not knowledgeable about acupuncture and weight loss, however I'm going this afternoon for my acupuncture appointment and I'll ask her about that. A huge benefit is that it works on the inside, calming the whole system down, which may work to reduce your daughter's stress and/or desire for eating when she is emotional. My mother went to my acupuncturist for sciatica pain, which acupuncture is fabulous at eliminating, 2-3 visits and it's usually gone. Initially, my mother was a little squeamish about the needles too, so the acupuncturist gave her herbs for another condition which also worked well, just a little slower. But she has seen so many positive results happening for me over many years, she finally relented and tried the needles when she got the sciatica and when it worked so quickly and effectively, she became a true believer! I go on a regular basis to keep me "tuned up" as my acupuncturist says, I find it so helpful for so much, in particular stress, it promotes a very deep sense of relaxation. [/QUOTE]
