I feel very sleepy after my acupuncture session. Is this normal?
Acupuncture regulates neurotransmitters in your brain in particular serotonin. It usually causes sleepiness for 10% of new patients in my 33 years of practice. If on your return visits, you feel sleepy all the time, you may need to tell your acupuncturist to do less stimulation. For some people who lacks good night sleep, it is merely a signal from the brain; you need a better sleep! READ MORE

Surprisingly, it is not a hard condition to deal with in Chinese medicine. The principle of the asthma treatment is to reduce inflammation and eliminate triggers of asthma.

Patients eventually become less depending on Rx. We also promote immunity of patients, so they no longer are sensitive to their trigger factors. READ MORE
