Thank you for the tips on what to wear that day!
I didn't know it worked for anxiety, depression, and sinus infection! That's amazing!

Yes it has been amazing for me. It really seems to balance body and mind and help body to heal itself with lots of conditions. That said, a good TCM doctor will tell you when you need to see a MD...they aren't going to venture into something they cannot treat. I think that's really important. I also don't struggle with cystitis anymore either.
Ps. if you do go some time, feel free to wear a bra under the gown if you prefer...it's just my preference not to for comfort. Also, my doc said if I ever wanted I could wear some yoga pants and a tank or t-shirt instead of the gown if I wanted to me more covered up. There are no fixed rules. He just asks me to uncover a small area on my abdomen for a few needles on days I need them there. He can't see my underwear or anything. Feels very safe. One day I was very nauseous so instead of lying on the table as I usually do, he had me sit in a chair and did the needles that way. And of course the nausea stopped within about 3 minutes!! I swear sometimes those needles feel like magic. But there's a lot to Traditional Chinese Medicine...I just don't have the training or the Chinese language to understand it all...their body terms are very different than those of MDs.
