I too was afraid of needles and wanted to over come that in order to begin donating blood. I went a good friend of 10 years who went through 3 years of training in Chinese medicine and her acupunture treatments not only helped my alergies it helped me with my fear of needles as well.

The next time you have a headache take a look at your right thumb. Imagine that the nail is the back of your head and the pad the front. Find the corresponding point to your headache location on your thumb and press firmly in that location with another finger. You'll likely see that your headache will subside. For some it will do so for as long as you use pressure, for others, after a minute or so, it will go away.

I have two friends who are MDs and another friend who is a psychologist. I'll three reccommend that some of their patients try accupunture and other Chinese medicine. They have no vested interest in it.

So - does anyone have too much liver chi, like I do?
