Draining Aggressive Energy

I often laugh a little when a patient says "I'm not aggressive" as I explain the treatment plan for their session.  AE (Aggressive Energy) is an Acupuncture treatment and test all wrapped in one. The term "aggressive energy" refers to a person's qi that may have become toxic in response to certain life experiences causing emotional shock and/or stagnation; it does not necessarily refer to a person's behavior.

Shallowly placed needles are inserted down the back at specific points related to the Lung, Heart Protector, Heart, Liver, Spleen and Kidney. If redness appears around the needle, the test is positive and showing imbalance; some "pollution" or "agitation" of the person's qi. As the redness clears, aggressive energy drains and treatment occurs - balance is restored. The draining can take 20 mins, longer or may need to be repeated in follow up treatment.

Over and over, AE proves to be a great place to start when first working with patient, when there are momentous experiences happening in ones life (ie. marriage, childbirth, new job, break-up/divorce, move, etc) and during season changes. The transition from winter to spring can especially cause agitation, allergies, or a feeling of being "off" in some people.

This treatment often leaves one feeling deeply relaxed and calm. It treats a wide wide variety of issues (lingering illness, inability to settle, bodily tension, allergies, diff sleeping, hot flashes, support during chemo, seasonal affective disorders, etc). AE's clearing of toxic qi also prevents illness. I treasure this treatment dearly and am honored to offer it.
