Acupuncture and euphoria

Posted by Partlycloudy on September 2, 2008, at 7:36:27

I'm currently getting some acupuncture treatment for stress - what a surprise! - that's resulted in back pain and increased migraines. Treatment is going well, I trust my practioner. I've always experienced euphoria during acupuncture treatments, though, followed by a "crash", when I seem to feel almost as bad as before I started. The difference seems to be that I recover rather quickly and end up feeling better than before I started, so I know I'm making progress.

But what is this euphoria all about? I can't say that I've felt anything quite like it in any drug-induced state. AND I can't say I don't dislike it - apart from knowing that a crash is inevitably coming.

I tried googling and all I could find was that it was common to feel this way - I'm more interested in why.

Anyone?

thanks
PartlyCloudy
