Acupuncture 101: 7 Must-Know Facts Before You Try It

Curious about acupuncture but not sure what to expect? This quick read unpacks 7 essential facts, from how it works to what it really feels like, so you can feel more confident stepping into your first session.

We use one-time, disposable needles for your hygiene & safety. Our Physicians select different lengths, ranging from 13mm - 75mm, for different treatment areas & conditions. Acupuncture is recognised by the W.H.O for its efficacy for over 100 conditions. Contrary to what it looks like, most people feel nothing more than a slight tingle during insertion. Acupuncture holistically supports pain relief, stress management,  & general wellness.

1. Sterile and Single-Use Needles

Every acupuncture needle is used once and then safely disposed of. Our Clinics follow strict hygiene standards, so you can rest assured it's clean and safe.

2. Needles Are Hair-Thin

Worried it might hurt? Most first-timers are surprised at how fine the needles are, often as thin as a strand of hair (between 0.12mm & 0.30mm). Many people feel only a slight sensation or nothing at all.

3. Not All Needles Are the Same

Needles come in different lengths and thicknesses. Our TCM physicians select them based on the part of the body being treated and the condition at hand; it’s not one-size-fits-all.

4. Recognised by the W.H.O

The World Health Organization recognises acupuncture as an effective treatment for over 100 conditions, including migraines, back pain, and stress-related disorders.

5. What Will You Feel?

You might experience a dull ache, tingling, or warmth at the needle site. Many report feeling deeply relaxed during or after the session, sometimes even energised.

6. There Are 361 Classical Acupuncture Points

According to the World Health Organization (W.H.O) Standard Acupuncture Nomenclature, your body has 361 primary acupoints. Each one helps regulate energy flow and restore internal balance.

5. Back to Balance

Acupuncture is not just for pain. It’s a holistic therapy designed to restore balance across your body systems, from digestion to sleep to mood regulation.

Eu Yan Sang DIY Recipe - Herbal Chicken Soup with Lingzhi

Did you know? In addition to its immune-boosting benefits, Lingzhi is renowned for its ability to calm the mind, making it a go-to remedy for insomnia.

Let’s sip on this comforting Herbal Chicken Soup for a peaceful night's sleep.

Herbal Chicken Soup with Lingzhi

Serves: 3-4

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 black chicken

  • 15g Lingzhi mushrooms

  • 1 piece of dried tangerine peel

  • 6 red dates

  • 1 handful of goji berries

  • 2 slices of fresh ginger

  • Salt, to taste

  • Water

Step 1: Preparation
  • Soak the dried Lingzhi mushrooms in cold water for about 30 minutes or until softened.

  • Rinse the dried tangerine peel, red dates, goji berries and ginger under cold water.

Step 2: Parboil the Chicken
  • Fill a large pot with enough water to cover all the ingredients and bring it to a boil over high heat.

  • Carefully add the chicken halves to the pot and allow it to boil for 2-3 minutes to remove impurities.

  • Remove the chicken from the pot and rinse it under cold water. Discard the water.

Step 3: Soup Assembly
  • In the clean pot, add the parboiled chicken halves, soaked Lingzhi mushrooms, dried tangerine peel, red dates, and ginger slices.

  • Pour in enough water to cover all the ingredients. Approximately 1.5 litres should suffice.

Step 4: Simmering
  • Place the pot over medium heat and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.

  • Once simmering, partially cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for about 2 hours.

  • Stir occasionally and skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.

  • Add a pinch of salt to taste.

Serve and enjoy!

Tips: Double the Lingzhi for more benefits, but it may taste bitter. Add more goji berries to balance it out.
