Can I do acupuncture during my period?
Yes - in many cases, you can.
In TCM, menstruation is a natural process, so acupuncture is often adjusted rather than avoided.
🌿 It may help support:
• Period cramps
• Bloating
• Mood changes
• Fatigue
⚖️ Treatment is usually modified if bleeding is very heavy, you feel weak, or it’s your first session.
At Eight Branches, care is always tailored to the individual and their cycle stage 🌿

What does acupuncture feel like? 🧐
Most people expect sharp pain but the reality is usually much milder!
Comparing with blood test and bugs bites, acupuncture needles are just a tiny pressure that fades fast.
After the needle is placed, many people feel:
• Relaxation
• Warmth or heaviness
• A calming, almost sleepy state 😴
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these sensations are part of the body responding to treatment along the meridians. 🌿

Tired of red, irritated eyes?
Here’s why TCM says it might be happening 🌿
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, eye redness is often linked to Liver imbalance, since the Liver opens to the eyes.
In TCM, red eyes aren’t just a cosmetic issue, they’re a signal.
Many times, it’s connected to Liver imbalance or external factors like wind, heat, or dryness.
Simple habits like eye rest, hydration, nourishing foods, and acupressure can help support comfort naturally.
