Dear Yenta,

I’ve been going to acupuncture regularly for about 4 months as a way to improve my general health and boost my immune system.  Really though, I got hooked thanks to the hazy, fuzzy kinda high feeling I got right after a treatment.  What can I say?  It’s a natural high!

The problem is that I’m not really getting high anymore- the buzz has worn off and my body is getting use to the feeling.  Since I’m not going for any specific ailment, I can’t decide if that means I should stick with it or move onto the next “natural high” experience (bikram yoga, perhaps?).  Have you ever experienced this kind of thing?  What do you say?

Dear PAPINY,

I have experienced this kind of thing, and about ten to one-hundred varieties of this kind of thing.  For some people it is normal to get all stoney-like after being treated.  “>The Web That Has No Weaver: Understanding Chinese Medicine by Tim Kaptchuk
