Visit to acupuncturist
I went in yesterday for my second acupuncture session. She prescribed me Six Flavor teapills and recommended to do a femoral artery massage. She said that placing my feet in hot water each night could help increase my blood flow to the uterus. She also recommended that I take Mucinex starting day 12. She placed one needle in the web betreen my thumb and forefinger, one on the top of each foot, one on each inner ankle, one on each inner midcalf, and one just inside and below my knee. She does not talk about why she places needles where she does, and does not talk about what my possible diagnoses are. I have read the Infertility Cure and have sort of diagnosed myself. Would it be too forward to ask her to talk through her reasonings? (I think I have kidney yang defiency, but the her she prescribed is for yin deficiency, which I think will overall tonify the kidneys.) I need to just trust her, since she is the one trained in it. I go back in one week.
Does this sound like standard practice? Any other recommendations?
