“OH MY GOD IS THAT NORMAL?” 😋 we get this question a lot when people bruise. Unfortunately bruises do happen occasionally and unfortunately acupuncture bruises can get dark and ugly (but not painful, which is good!). While it doesn’t happen often, if you are someone who bruises easily, has low iron (like me!), on blood thinners or on the paler side it can happen. Don’t worry, it’s totally normal! A little heat, massage and arnica cream will have it healing in no time. While the goal is never to bruise anyone, if it does happen there’s no need to panic ✨
