'Christina on the Coast': Christina convinces BFF Cassie to try acupuncture, says it helped her during pregnancy
Christina Anstead tries to convince her best friend Cassie Zebisch to have needles poked into her body, the acupuncture variant, in the upcoming episode of 'Christina on the Coast'. The series features both Christina's personal and professional life. So while she is seen dealing with a delay in the home renovation process of her new clients due to rain and exhausted stocks, Christina is also seen taking a moment to relax with her bestie Cassie.
In the new clip, both women meet Dr Sheila Campbell. Christina is all praises for Campbell and acupuncture as a treatment and she also goes ahead to credit it for her third pregnancy that seemed impossible due to PCOS at first. “I know some people are going to think that all of this is a bit out there, but let me tell you, it works, you just have to be open to it,” she says in the clip, from the upcoming episode that will air on Thursday night. Cassie was a bit nervous initially but hearing about Christina's positive experience with the treatment in the past gave her the confidence to go ahead and give it a try. Not to get too adventurous in the beginning, Campbell and Christina persuade her to start with two points in her ears.
"It’s going to reset your brain, and balance the left and the right hemispheres of your brain," Campbell tells Cassie. Christina too settles with just two needles in her ears to give Cassie some comapny but the clip reveals that on the regular, she would have no qualms having 20 to 30 needles in her ear during a single session. "I can tell that Cassie is a little bit nervous about all of this, but once she feels the results she’ll be 100 percent in,” Anstead says. The first needle goes in and when it doesn't hurt Cassie leans into the treatment and within a few minutes, she's relaxed and quiet. "So how does that feel? Can you feel the difference with just two needles?" Campbell asks Cassie but she only gets a mellow “mmm-hmm" as a response.
Christina on the Coast airs Thursdays at 9 pm ET on HGTV.
