Can acupuncture be pricked by itself?
The human body has twelve meridians and eight odd meridians, and each meridian has acupoints corresponding to a certain disease. The depth of acupoints and patients' feelings about acupuncture are very important for treating diseases. Acupuncture at the right acupoints will generally cause pain. In order to reduce the pain of patients, at the same time, in order to accurately prick the acupoints, it is necessary to practice repeatedly, and the best sensory body is your own body. By needling your body, you can really feel all kinds of reflexes of various acupoints, so as to achieve the effect of getting rid of diseases with one needle.
Therefore, people who learn acupuncture will also give themselves needles, and the acupuncturist who can give himself needles is the doctor who really cares for patients. It is not easy to do it without professionalism. Such doctors can really make patients and their families admire and trust.
Can acupuncture lose weight?
Yes, but we should pay attention to these needs when we are in acupuncture weight loss:
1, acupuncture weight loss is not suitable for patients with bleeding constitution, hematological diseases and coagulation mechanism problems.
Acupuncture weight loss is not suitable for patients with bleeding constitution, blood diseases and blood coagulation mechanism problems.
Because acupuncture weight loss used a silver needle to directly stimulate subcutaneous acupoints. Although the eye of the needle is small, it is also very harmful to some people with disorder of coagulation mechanism. Therefore, it is suggested that such patients should not undergo any acupuncture treatment.

Points for attention in acupuncture and moxibustion
Strictly speaking, most acupuncture has no adverse reactions. In some cases, blood vessels can't be seen during acupuncture, and a small amount of bleeding is hard to avoid. But these do not affect other problems, for example, many people worry about whether it will affect internal organs and other parts. It is rare that the needle will cause nerve damage or something else. However, some doctors' methods are too heavy, which will cause patients discomfort, such as local pain or bloating.
Of course, if some acupuncturists who don't understand anatomy stick needles at will, the results will definitely be different, depending on the location of the needles and the situation at that time.
Some patients think that the puncture site may swell up, and so will other needles. In fact, acupuncture may not have other adverse reactions, such as needle fainting, which is sensitive, but if the patient stays in bed, nothing will happen, which is rare, and the ratio may be one in a million.
