Dear Patient, Acupuncture is relatively painless, but sometimes when the needle goes in you’ll feel a sensation—a dull ache, a zing, a tingling. We call this de qi. De qi means the qi has arrived: the energy of your body revving up, electrical signals transmitting through the metal of the needle, forces converging. The magic is happening.
I have always believed when I feel "de qi" during acupuncture that there is something extra important for the needles to address, so love this! ❤️
