They are much finer and are solid rather than hollow. When a needle is inserted, the sensation is often described as a tingling or dull ache. Needles are left in place for about 20 minutes, during which time the patient may experience a heaviness in the limbs or a pleasant feeling of relaxation.

As we exit November, the seasonal Qi begins its descent, and the body naturally turns inward to consolidate and protect. In Chinese medicine, this is the time when the Lungs and Kidneys—our primary systems for maintaining defensive Qi—require particular attention. With external Cold and Damp on the rise, patients become more vulnerable to the common winter illnesses that so often accompany this seasonal shift. November is therefore an important moment for practitioners to guide patients in strengthening wei qi, supporting Lung function, and safeguarding the body before winter fully arrives.
Seasonal Practice Tips for Practitioners
– Encourage patients to prioritise early bedtimes to support Kidney Yang and maintain robust defensive Qi.
– Recommend gentle breathwork or short daily qigong sessions to keep Lung Qi open and circulating.
– Emphasise warming, easily digestible foods—such as congee with ginger or cinnamon—to protect the Spleen and minimise internal Damp.
– Suggest simple acupressure routines (e.g., LU7, LI4, ST36) to reinforce immunity between treatments.
– Remind patients to “dress with the season,” especially protecting the neck from Wind exposure.
