Acupuncture sensations…

It is strange…I have not been a licenced acupuncturist for many years, but one thing I must express that I have noticed (and I have confirmed this with other practitioners) is that more often than not patients have one side of their body that is more sensitive to the needles than the other !  To my knowledge there is little to no information in Chinese medicine literature that speaks of this.  Seems strange to me.  I have heard many peoples theories on why this may be happening; left is Yin right is Yang energies, right is future issues and left is past issues, does being left handed or right handed make a difference?

This post is meant to start dialogue about acupuncture sensations; Stronger on one side? Why?
