As some of you know I have had an issue with my upper lip being numb.� After lots of testing my neurologist was not able to come up with anything that would be causing the problem, but did find�I was in great health.� The situation still purists so I decided to address the issue again.� This time I decided to see an acupuncturist.� I will start off by saying it does not hurt when they insert the needles.� It’s actually quite a relaxing experience.� So far the treatments have not relieved the numbness but I have found it extremely interesting to find out more about Traditional Chinese Medicine.� They have a very different philosophy from western medicine, in a nut shell they believe in bringing balance, harmony and well-being to individuals.� The symptoms we present – such as my numbness – they believe is due to an imbalance in my body.� Thru acupuncture, diet, exercise and meditation they believe you can strengthen what is deficient and disperse what is in excess in your body.�
