Have you ever given yourself acupuncture?

Question

My acupuncturist wants me to give myself acupuncture a couple of times a week. She just wants me to put the needles in on three points in my fingers. I thought this was a little weird but I’ll do it! I’m a little nervous about it! I didn’t realize how far the needles go in (About this far -----)! Has anyone ever done this?

Answer 1

I have never used the needles.  I do however do acuppressure on myself.

Ask your Acupuncturist how deep the needles should go.

Good Luck Kiddo ;-D

Answer 2

She should show you clearly how to do it very accurately. Don't want to make any mistakes. It's possible to succeed anyhow. I tried a few times only I was scared because I didn't have anyone show me properly. The needles can go in further on different part of the body. I've seen that. Use a medicinal alchohol to clean the area first. If you don't like it then try a book on that Korean form of acupressure, Su Jok. They tape seeds onto the points and keep them there for a few hours at a time. (As long as they stay on)

Answer 3

I've never heard of doing acupuncture on oneself. But you can do acupressure. It's where you apply pressure with your fingertips instead of using needles.

Answer 4

hmmm nope
