Exploring the Healing Power of Acupuncture for Emotional Well-being

A Unique Observation in Recent Treatments

Today, I want to share an interesting observation from a recent treatment session. A lady came to see me, primarily expressing feelings of low mood and discomfort in her chest, accompanied by liver Qi stagnation. This is a common condition in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)—emotional stress that cannot be released often leads to a feeling of being "stuck in the chest."

While I was needling the Shenmen (HT7) and Neiguan (PC6) points on her right side, I noticed a particularly special phenomenon. Instead of the usual pulsating sensation, the needle exhibited a gentle, flowing, and swaying state. The Neiguan point also showed slight needle movement, but again, only on the right side.

Understanding Needle Movement in TCM

In TCM theory, such needle movement often indicates:

• The Qi in the meridians is beginning to flow.

• Emotional stagnation is gradually being released.

• The emotional axis connecting the heart, pericardium, and liver is responding to treatment.

  
  

It is noteworthy that the needle movement was only present on the right side. In TCM diagnostics, this often signifies that the Qi aspect is being adjusted first, while the blood aspect (often associated with the left side) has yet to be deeply affected.

Patient Response to Treatment

The patient's response to treatment was quite evident:

• The feelings of chest tightness and pressure were immediately alleviated.

• Her mood became lighter and more joyful.

  
  

This is a great example of how acupuncture can improve not only physical symptoms but also assist the body in releasing emotional blockages and restoring balance.
