One of the most frequent questions I get is how many acupuncture sessions will I need 🤔
The honest answer is — it depends on your body, your goals, and how long the issue has been present 🌿
In general, the longer or more chronic a condition is, the more time and consistency it takes to create lasting change. When symptoms have been around for months or years, the body often needs a series of treatments to fully rebalance. If you come in soon after a recent illness, injury, or flare-up, healing typically happens faster and often requires fewer sessions ⚡️✨
Acupuncture supports your body’s natural healing ability by improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and restoring balance — but healing is a process, not a quick fix 💫 Many patients start noticing positive shifts sooner than expected.
If you’re not sure what plan makes sense for you, I’m always happy to talk it through 💬

🌬️ Breathe Easy with Acupuncture 🌬️

Coughing can linger long after a cold, allergies, or irritation — but acupuncture helps restore balance to the Lung meridian, clear phlegm, and calm the body’s natural breathing rhythm.

💨 How acupuncture helps:
✨ Opens the airways and reduces throat irritation
✨ Strengthens Lung Qi to boost immunity
✨ Clears phlegm and relieves chest tightness
✨ Calms spasms that trigger coughing

⸻

👐 Try these acupressure points at home for quick relief:

1️⃣ Lung 5 (Chize) – Bend your elbow slightly. You’ll find it on the inside crease of the elbow, near the thumb side of the tendon.
👉 Gently press or massage here for 30–60 seconds to relieve cough and clear phlegm from the lungs.

2️⃣ Lung 7 (Lieque) – Hold your arm out. Find a spot about 1.5 inches above the wrist crease, on the thumb side (just below the bump of the bone).
👉 Press and rub in small circles — it helps open the lungs, ease shortness of breath, and soothe throat irritation.

3️⃣ Stomach 40 (Fenglong) – If there’s phlegm or mucus, find this one halfway down the lower leg, on the outer side of the shin (between knee and ankle).
👉 Firmly press or rub for 30 seconds each side — this point clears dampness and transforms phlegm.

4️⃣ Ear Point “Stop Wheezing” – On the outer ear, near the middle ridge.
👉 Massage gently with your fingertip or place an ear seed here if you have them! It helps calm wheezing and open the chest.

⸻

💆‍♀️ Apply light to medium pressure on each point while breathing deeply.
Repeat 2–3 times a day for extra support 🌿
