acupuncture needle moxa

[braedencowbrough]

WTF did he do to her neck..... That is begging for an infection

[crpsaiyan]

@braedencowbrough Before this video, the acupuncturist performed gua sha. Based on what you see on her neck, she's probably suffering from physical stress within that area, or it could be that she was exposed to cold winds, which is why it's all red. If it was pink then her neck would be normal. Just thought you might want to know. :)

[braedencowbrough]

@crpsaiyan I saw the other video and it was from the scraping of the stupid gua sha. I don't care what you say, opening the skin to the environment increases chances of infection substantially. This is as screwed up as blood letting and its medieval practice

[crpsaiyan]

@braedencowbrough I hate to break it to you, but this "medieval practice" that you speak of is actually very beneficial to people out there... like me, for example. I would rather go through this type of treatment, then popping pills full of concentrated medicine that could seriously damage my stomach lining, and result in negative side effects that I don't want, and having to take other meds to rid myself of those symptoms. Sorry, but I have no plans of becoming a walking medicine cabinet.

[braedencowbrough]

@crpsaiyan Lol I don't care what YOU would rather go through. I am simply saying that this practice is dangerous and really just begging for problems. Yes taking medications sucks, but they do help. This treatment is nothing more than a placebo. Try a massage instead and don't have someone scraping the outer layer of you skin to relieve "tension and stress" which is the symbol of quack medicines because the placebo effect works to stop them!

[crpsaiyan]

@braedencowbrough Believe what you want. You do your thing, and I'll do mine. :)

[StopFlaggingVideos]

@braedencowbrough i share your concerns for logic and science and proof and skepticism. i think western medicine is excellent, and its the go-to default for anything. but there are things western medicine doesnt really do well, in regards to a feeling of well-being etc. they just prescribe more pills, and for some people, it doesnt work well enough. TCM might make them feel better, disregarding placebo. its not that TCM is some miracle medicine; its more a symptom treater, i can respect that

[BuuvMonster]

looks like a marshmello

[SolidSnaky]

You will feel burn."

[Gooniessss]

[FatherFlanigan]

This is something I would only do just to tell my buddies that I had smoking needles sticking outta me. Definately not something I'd do if I had a real medical problem that needed addressed.

[HorsefeathersNYC]

I LOVE acupuncture, and moxa is my favorite part.

[sokrzartz]

No pain and No stress....

[GreenFont]

Maybe it hurt you because the person doing it was inexperienced, or performed it improperly.

[Ifajor1]

HERRO, I'M CON ARTIST.

[zcheeseolly]

@Ifajor1 haha xd

[Hotora86]

Home come it doesn't hurt other people but it hurts me?! Y_Y

[chimonkey123]

And this cures what exactly?

[CrucifixionxX]

stresssssszzszszs nmmkay?

[chimonkey123]

MMMMMHMMMMMMMM.....

[calberkeley01]

reduces tension in the neck and headaches migraines etc. i have pain in my neck and jaw from tmj and cupping works wonders along with making me feel great. i love it

[BigN33dle]

This treats chronic joint pain exacerbated by cold environments and relieved by heat- in this case the heat emitted by the moxa roll on top of the needle.

[BCCButters711]

I don't think "cures" is the right word here. It helps a person feel more relaxed, probably helping with stress and a host of other emotional problems. Steven Seagal did this in a few of his movies.

[badjackbrowning5]

Cold shoulders.

[worcesteranon]

ahhhh, I LOVE getting moxa on my lower back (on the needles, not on the skin), and it smells like pot too :D

[gallimaufry6]

I was scared for my life watching this hoping he didn't drop it, I held my breath every two seconds grabbing my bed sheets.

Ahhhh scary.

I'd run if I were her.

[VoodooMagick]

Gah it was freakin me out how he was waving his hands about the dry ice glad he didnt drop it!!

[VladTzepesh]

whats that red thing on her back ? :-S what have u done to her ?!

[STUNTS1516]

apparently he scraped her several times with an animal horn :s

[ZellerX]

Yes, my brother used bee sting therapy for a muscle atrophy condition ... worked wonders for him. I also understand that people with MS find great benefit with it. Glad you found some helpful therapies, deepeeeh. Meditation and taiji are always good ideas :D

[ZellerX]

I have to say, the painfulness of acupuncture is highly dependent upon the practitioner doing the acupuncture. My patients rarely find anything painful in my practice. If your acupuncturist is causing you pain on a regular basis, it might be time to look into a different practitioner. It is important that people understand that acupuncture isn't commonly painful. On occasion, there are sensitive points, and even they disperse in sensation after a few seconds.

[deepeeeh]

Yes, I understand. It was painful and done in an area of extemely sensitive, inflamed tissue. Every Ch Dr. I visited said they have never encounterred a patient with symtoms as unique and challenging as my Rheumatoid Arthritis seems to be. Alot of the pain I experienced seemed to be extremely sensitive nerve endings(?) and eletric shock. that freaked me out.My Dr. said it was important to treat this area with that method. Now I get stung by bees and meditate/taiji and disease is gone (blood)

[deepeeeh]

Bee stings=So far so good. It's quite painless copared to the accu/ moxa needles. My Chinese Dr. inserted the accupuncture needles quite deep into sensitive painful tissue. But he was an excellent technician. Most patients don't experience much pain.

But,The bee stings are no problem. Chinese medicine usually works gradually. Depending on the situation, etc..

[deepeeeh]

I had the heated accupuncture for several weeks to reduce chonic swelling and pain from arthritis. My Dr. was an amazing Dr. But he quit the clinic and now I get stung by bees for treatment. I live in Taiwan.

[Shonem]

I've heard about bee sting therapy.

Working for ya?

[deepeeeh]

I had it done on my wrist. No problem. Effective. But the nurse burned my wrist with a lighter. And I had to bath with wet wipes for a week to avoid infection.

[Shonem]

Effective with what?

What does moxa treat?

[LittoMoon]

i had this done on my back.. it look painful but it doesn't

[halidefox]

Skeptic or not, you gotta admit the Doctor certainly is careful about not hurting the patient. I admire that kind of professionalism.

[Meesago]

I have had Moxa on my back neck and knees... Sometimnes it does get a bit incomfortable.

[ZellerX]

The red marks on her neck are likely from a method called gua sha (gwah shah). It is a scraping method that helps to relieve stagnation and tension in the area. The marks will not likely last more than a few days. Acupuncture is an amazing and very effect method of treatment that includes other therapies, like the warming needle shown in this video. Try not to condem what you don't understand. Educate yourself and you might find something useful :)

[Mamba205]

They have a video of her getting gua sha treatment. You should watch it.

[ZellerX]

Right on, thanks. :) I am an acupuncturist so I understand these therapies and I also deal with lack of understanding of the practice on a regular basis. As with most situations like this, education is the solution. Many will shy away from that which they do not understand and many will be open to exploring and learning. Fortunately, more and more are becoming open and benefitting from acupuncture therapies. I have seen amazing things accomplished with this medicine. Great stuff :)

[crushed12]

Hi Zeller, I too work as an acupuncturist in the UK. We use moxa for cold conditions such as deficient kid yang qi. Older people do respond well to this therapy.

[ZellerX]

Yes, Crushed, moxa is good for many things ... dispersing and tonifying ... but, like you, I find warming needle to be especially helpful in cases of KD xu :D Frankly, I consider moxa to me a vital part of my acupuncture practice. Nice to hear from a fellow practitioner "across the pond" :)

[pesadilla38]

most of u ppl commenting saying this doesnt work or having stupid quistions cuz ur skeptical or completly ignorant and shouldnt be commenting becuase ur acting like ur smart but ur really not

[naratips]

He did not do anything to those red areas. The need is not put there, where he claimed in the other video that it is the area of muscle with a high stress.

So, it is like just scarpping the back and the stress and pain disappeared?

[Tracy137]

Perhaps you can go and be negative somewhere else? I don't see why you must condemn something that might help another's suffering. If I thought this would help my illnesses I would have it done in a heartbeat.

[naratips]

I don't see either why you call my questions a condemn. My comment was just a fact based on what i saw (the need is not put on the red area) and a question (scrapping make pain disappear?)

Is that right? I think so. So, perhaps you can consider yourself to go and be negative somewhere else too. How could people get educated if they don't ask questions?

[imbrd]

its not simply scraping/scratching back. TCM and other forms of acupuncture do not necessarily touch the affected to treat it- rather it uses acupoints to rebalance the circulation and flow

[Tracy137]

Ah but you're not asking questions are you? I have noticed on many of these clips you make disparaging remarks about about the treatment. However if you are genuinely interested you should look at accupuncture points - they don't have to be right on the site of the illness/injury. However the skeptic will always remain unconvinced and you are certainly a skeptic. I, personally, would not rule out anything that might help me or others get well.

[longlashes100]

wat r the marks on that girls bac?

[TruPerfection20]

Look at the previous video and you can see why her back is like that.

[Mamba205]

he scrapes her back before he does the needle thing. its on a nother video the neck gua sha

[raspberryjam2]

If you ever get mono, try accupuncture. Western medicine hasn't found an appropriate treatment yet other than giving you Tylenol 3s and telling you to wait it out which, by the way, SUCKS! Accupuncture is relaxing AND it treats the source.

[oathniel]

These are great videos. Ive been considered exploring accupuncture as a career lately, so thanks for posting these :)

[BigN33dle]

Good for you and good luck!

[Tracy137]

I really believe that acupuncture can help with many different ailments, sadly it's not widely available on the NHS here in the UK and most people, like myself, cannot afford to pay for the treatments privately. Thanks for posting though, its very interesting to watch. :O)

[skuraix9]

nice,like these reality videos

[deboy26]

Thank you so much. I will keep upload more reality videos. Thanks

[appledroplarry]

@deboy26

yes, please up load more, I can't get the needles out of my wife. : )

[pendragonshall]

@deboy26 Its been a long time since you've posted any videos. I hope you start Posting a LOT again. I really enjoy these. Very well done.
