physical.cleansing.
i went to see a tcm chinese physician today and felt really good about it. i have visited one before, but that didn't leave me as much of an impression as compared to this one. this time, i'm talkin' about needle pricklin' into my skin. the chinese physician, uncle c i called him, gave me a preconsultation by checkin my pulse and blood pressure, and more or less to find out abit more about my medical history. he then instructed me to take off my shoes, roll up my jeans to my knees and lie on the bed (medical couch, to be more chim). as i was wondering wat he's gonna do next, he started to feel my head and ask if i was feelin' tired and giddy (which i always do, due to my dear thalassemia beta). i naturally said yes and he then swap the top of my crown with cotton pad and abit of alcohol. before i could hold my breath, he has already pricked the skin on my skull and my two temples. fast!
the next couple of pricks were swiftly but smoothly executed, as he moved his attention down to the rest of my tensed and immobilised body. some points do hurt alot, but they were quite bearable. i admit i was feelin' quite drama, but serously and honestly, i believe i just have very low threshold to pain and discomfort. anyways... he has reached my soles already. ouch.
i was then left on the couch.
alone.
i felt like a voodoo doll.
30mins past and then uncle c came back to unvoodoo me. quite the relief. shiok lor. i walked on solid ground again and felt instantly better, if not healthier. i seriously felt my 'qi' movin' more rapidly (i swear!). no more giddiness. no more pale lips and tired eyes. wow...
a good nite sleep followed. it felt really good hehe! :)
