Acupuncture Treatment Demo for Low Energy and Stress Relief Therapy

New videos every day. Does low energy affect your days? Do you start to feel tired a lot of the time around two o'clock in the afternoon? Do you find that you're needing to drink coffee all day even though you're sleeping fine? Maybe you're not sleeping fine. Low energy is definitely a problem in our fast-paced society where we're trying to do too much and something that can help with low energy is acupuncture. My name is Chrissy Natoli and I'm a licensed acupuncturist here in Austin working at the House of Spine and I'm just going to demonstrate a few points that are good for low energy and previously we had talked about stress which definitely can cause low energy and so right now our beautiful model has in some points that I did in the previous video and those points were for stress and we're just going to leave those points there and add a few more points for low energy. In a typical acupuncture treatment you would actually have I would use about 10 to 12 needles so it's pretty realistic that I would have these needles in and then put a few more needles in and most people come in with more than one complaint so usually if someone's stressed you'll also have low energy or appetite problems so we are going to do some points for low energy. I'm going to start by cleaning the points with some alcohol just because the needles penetrate the skin and so you want to make sure the skin is clean and I'm going to do a point called stomach 36 which is on the leg and usually it's a tender spot and I'm going to do another point on the abdomen. Vanessa may I? That one's called Ren 6 and I'm going to do a point on her scalp and that point is do 20. Do 20 is kind of the highest point the crown of the head and the reason why do 20 is a good point for low energy is because it's at the top and the theory is that it helps to raise up the energy so theoretically energy is flowing in all of these different channels on the body and by stimulating certain points you can affect the flow of that energy so if someone's tired I mean you can imagine just it just makes sense that the energy is kind of falling I mean you almost feel a physical sense of being heavy or like you're kind of falling or you just want to sit down you can't keep yourself up and so these points or this point in particular is a good point because it's high and so it's kind of trying to draw the energy up it's also a point where several of the channels meet without getting into too much theory there's yin and there's yang and the yang is more of the energy the movement and the yin is more of the substance and so you need a balance of yin and yang and the yang like I said it's the energy it's the movement and so three yang channels meet at this point on the head and so you want to get more movement if you're tired so that kind of helps to stimulate these yang channels. Go ahead and take a deep breath that okay and that was do 20. I'm going to do this point that I'm going to do is actually called the sea of qi and in Chinese medicine they talk about qi and blood and yin and yang a lot and qi is part of yang it's the energy the life flow and this point on your abdomen ren six or the sea of qi it's kind of in the center and if you were to kind of draw a map or a sketch or you know sketch out Vanessa and find the middle it's pretty close to there and so that's kind of a consolidation it's kind of pulling all the qi in together and kind of trying to help build up the qi because when you're tired you don't have enough qi it's sort of another way of thinking of it just kind of explaining the thought behind how these points work and sometimes their physical location has a lot to do with their energetics now stomach 36 the physical location doesn't really have much to do with the energetics but it's on the stomach channel and in Chinese medicine this is it tender there Vanessa the stomach channel is the earth channel and earth is about as yin as it gets if you think about it everything in our world kind of springs forth from the earth it's the mother and yin is very feminine very much the source so the stomach channel the stomach is considered to be an earth channel and this point a lot of the points on the channels have properties and some of them will be an earth channel or a metal channel well this point is the earth point on the earth channel so it's a very tonifying point it helps to build um i'm that you can find and when you find that bump just go about supposed to be like a half of some width over you can also kind of use three fingers technically if you're doing it on someone really tall be a little more than that and then you can kind of feel sorry it's tender you can feel for the tender spot oh okay and that's usually where it is so from kind of the bottom of her patella kind of feel three finger three fingers and then kind of feel for the tender spot um so those are some good points for helping with energy if energy is low usually there's a lot of different ways of looking at things in chinese medicine and sometimes things happen because of excess like someone could be stressed because of excess or because of deficiency um low energy is probably mostly going to be a deficiency so these points are going to be really good to use if someone has low energy the points for low energy that i used were due 20 which is the top point at the very top of the head and it's kind of in the center from side to side and a little bit further back than center from the front it's kind of the highest point if you can find what the highest point is and it'll be tender um and then i used ren 6 which is roughly an inch and a half below the belly button and i use stomach 36 which is the earth point on the earth channel and it's roughly three finger widths from the bottom of the kneecap and then just slightly over from the bone um again another elegant treatment where there's a point high a point in the middle and a point on her legs just to balance things out and to hopefully give her some energy thanks so much for watching my name is chrissy natoli and i have a website if you're interested in learning about my practice it's www chrissy's little healing space.com chrissies little healing space.com and again thanks for listening i hope you get some energy and you are welcome to give a thumbs up comment subscribe and hopefully have a great day thanks if you liked this video we have hundreds of more alternative videos ranging from sexual health to psychology to mind control so if you liked it go ahead and click on me to enter the psyche truth channel
