Acupuncture is surprisingly relaxing, allowing both the muscles of the body and the mind to unwind and de-stress. The insertion of the needles is painless and because of the small size does not present any discomfort. Once the needles are placed along the meridians patients often feel a sensation of warmth, a pleasant tingling or pressure as the energy begins to move and flow. It is a deeply relaxing sensation and only lasts a few seconds as the body once again becomes balanced. This sensation known in as De-Qi has been shown to have a proven effect on the human brain, stimulating the production of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers, and increasing the energy circulation around the area being treated promoting faster tissue regeneration.

Effects of moxibustion for COVID-19 convalescence A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still spreading around the world. Moxibustion, as a significant therapy in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has been widely used to treat COVID-19, especially in recovery period. The study will aim to assess the efficacy and safety of moxibustion for COVID-19 convalescence. Methods: We will systematically search the relevant randomized controlled trials in the 7 databases from inception to February 2021, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Clinical Trials Database, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. No language and publication status restrictions will be applied. Two reviewers will independently conduct and screen all included studies and the meta-analysis will be performed with RevMan V5.3 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, England). Results: The study will provide a high-quality convincing assessment of the efficacy and safety of moxibustion for the treatment of COVID-19 convalescence, which will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Conclusion: Our study will give more comprehensive evidence of the effectiveness of moxibustion for COVID-19 convalescence.
