How to Remove Needles in Acupuncture

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Doctor Filardo I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic who's also certified in acupuncture. We have Anya, here, who in our last segment we talked about how to perform the acupuncture, now we're actually going to do it. And then we'll pull those needles out into a sharpie container. And, if any area's bleeding, like this one here. Okay. We just hold it there for just a second with an alcohol swab. And, that happens, the Chinese also believe, they call that lancing. And lancing was an old medic term as well. In the army, originally, the original surgeons were medics and for a headache they would drill a hole in the head. Of course, we've come a long way since then. But the Chinese believe that if the needle bleeds, that means that there was congestions there. The blood was stagnated and so it needed to, actually, come out. Which makes perfect sense because Anya has had allergies for a while. So you're starting to see that a bit. (Swabbing demo) Good. Okay. And then to complete the treatment we're going to support the liver, and the sizers, and the colon through these homeopathic pills that Anya is going to dissolve underneath her tongue. Open up, and just let them dissolve there. Alright. And we're all done. Good job, Anya. Okay."
