So in my life there is a constant battle between ME and the Seasonal Allergies! It never fails and it happens on a regular basis depending on the weather and/​or season (duh!). I heard of acupuncture being a type of treatment for allergies and it just so happened I was in the area and decided to give it a try. I took the bf along and it was his first time too. He went in for soreness and lower back pain while I did «treatment» of allergies and congestion.
First walking in you get the feeling that you are in some type of herbal market and with all the herbs placed on shelves and glass or plastic containers. It did have a musk scent to it but its pretty self explanatory (herbal clinic duh!.. haha)
The lady running the place was totally awesome, she completely took both of us in with a $ 60 charge (each) but it was a very welcoming and humble experience. She used these weird suction cup things on the bf to bring up his skin/​muscles up and placed them on different sections on his lower and mid back. It looked pretty nasty b/​c they were turning purple but then she would stab the areas thinly and allow pressure to release. It was definitley something to watch but kinda weird too.
I was next with needles poking in the face, forehead, feet, ankles and nose. Apparently these are all pressure points to help with congestion and sinuses. The needle straight on the tip of the nose and on the side of the ankles didnt feel to good, but i did feel a sense of pressure releasing and open passage ways in the sinuses. It was an odd feeling. I guess you got to come for a series of sessions to feel the «full» effect.
Overall the lady was sweet and nice, I would recommend going here since she is so welcoming and informative. She actually kept raising my self esteem and stuff by saying such nice compliments. Again, such a sweet lady.
