It is a great way for you to try acupuncture and feel some of the wonderful benefits it can produce at a great price. Only $20!

The session is done in a group setting and requires no clothing to be removed. Just bring a yoga mat, dress comfortably and enjoy this simple yet highly effective acupuncture treatment.

s but it is nothing like the needle experience you have had in the past. Most people find it uneventful and  are shocked they are even inserted.

With this happy hour protocol, needles are placed in specific powerful points in each ear. The ears are chosen because they are easy to access and the ears are one of the bodies micro-systems, i.e. the whole body is represented in the ear, therefore the whole body can be treated from the ear. The points chosen are empirically known to balance the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and balance the three primary detox organs (liver, kidneys and lungs) of the body. These points are also known to increase the release of endorphins, your bodies feel good hormone.

Once the needles are inserted, people are invited to relax however they want. Most will lie down in savassana. Some fall asleep. The treatment lasts anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. People usually know when they are finished however the acupuncturist will know when the session is done. After needles are removed, you are free to have some tea and quietly chat with others in the outer room.

Once seated on your yoga mat, you will be given an alcohol pad to swab the inside areas of both ears, then the acupuncturist will begin to insert the needles. The session may last between 30 to 45 minutes.
