Sorry I don't have better advice on the acupuncture - I haven't done it personally.

I had a lot of digestive problems while I was taking those herbs. That doctor just put in a few needles and then left me on the table for about 20 minutes. His sessions were $55, and I went 2-3 times a week.<BR/><BR/>The doctor I'm seeing now has me come in once a week. She does not prescribe herbs or tea. She puts in more needles than the last doctor did, and she comes back in the room about half way through and touches them. Yesterday, she put on some little electronic stimulators on my belly, too. She charges $100 per session.<BR/><BR/>I have never heard of the burning herbs thing.<BR/><BR/>I do think the whole point of fertility acupuncture is to increase the blood flow. A blogger friend of mine had to drink ginger tea three times a day as part of her acupuncture routine. I've tried it, and it's good, but I'm not doing it now. She has a beautiful baby, so maybe there's something to it...<BR/><BR/>You have been so busy! I'm sure you're happy to be home.Joannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268912691024764398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002841638551711015.post-69866531934334067882009-02-05T19:40:00.000-06:002009-02-05T19:40:00.000-06:00Glad you are back and hope you have a great weeken...Glad you are back and hope you have a great weekend!

I don't know, I liked acupuncture a lot once I gave it a chance - it took me awhile, though. It cost about the same as what you're saying, but I didn't take any herbs or anything. Is this acupuncturist certified in Oriental Medicine?<BR/><BR/>I would hang with it since you've already started. I opted not to do it this time around because it just felt like so many appointments and I started getting tired from that. I will say that it became more beneficial for me after I hung with it for awhile.<BR/><BR/>Keep me posted on how it's going!Leslie Lainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978669963745464690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002841638551711015.post-14119085028586969352009-02-05T17:35:00.000-06:002009-02-05T17:35:00.000-06:00Hey!

So, when I asked my nurse practitioner, she felt that massage would have the same effect. I believe this is based on the fact that there is no solid research on accupuncture. She did mention that if I was to do acupuncture that it would need to be done multiple times. I was a little nervous, so I went the massage route! :-)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569347476683189045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002841638551711015.post-14702820931024643932009-02-05T17:22:00.000-06:002009-02-05T17:22:00.000-06:00Wow, acupuncture.

I've known several people who absolutel swear by it, but I always felt like I'd react the same way as you did. Needles = relaxing just doesn't made sense in my head. The cost, oh my! I would have imagine one time a week would be enough, but then again, I'm not any expert at all. I do have a sill question about it, though. Do you feel God's presence with you when you're there?<BR/><BR/>*hugs*Mazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914742489846963185noreply@blogger.com
