Can acupuncture be done every day?
Not suitable for tying every day. If you don't recover from a long illness, you can have an injection every other day. Once acupuncture also consumes menstrual qi, which can promote the recovery of menstrual qi! Better tie it up. Otherwise, it's not good to stick your body every day without self-healing! You can also have a three-day needle rest for two days. The nociceptive nerve is distributed in the epidermis of the body, which is very thin, while the silver needle is very thin. It instantly passes through the cortex and reaches the fat layer without feeling very painful. After acupuncture, there will be a feeling of acid, numbness, swelling and heaviness, which is called "needle sensation" This "needle feeling" tends to be transmitted to distant parts along a certain route. Why do some people have pain? It is caused by mental tension and fear and muscle tension and contracture all over the body. Acupuncture can be used once or twice, and the pain will disappear.
How often do acupuncture?
The doctor will determine according to everyone's specific situation! Generally speaking, once a day or once every other day is enough, five to seven times is a course of treatment, and more than three courses of treatment are enough.
Acupuncture is a kind of treatment, just like taking medicine. Take the medicine once, twice and many times a day, because the medicine has a certain concentration in the body to produce curative effect, which is the main reason for determining the number of times to take the medicine;
One more thing, according to the severity of the disease, the dosage and frequency of medication can be reduced for light patients and increased for severe patients. The same is true of acupuncture, and the number of times of acupuncture is selected according to the severity of the illness.
Generally speaking, if the illness is mild, once a day is enough. If time does not allow, it can also be once every two days and once every three days.
Studies have shown that once acupuncture is used, the curative effect can last for 72 hours. If you just want to recuperate after illness, you can do it twice a week or even once a week. If the condition is serious, you may need to take injections several times a day, and some need to keep the needles for 24 hours.
