Kelly got treated for ‘congestion’ while Michael Strahan lifted his shirt for ‘some cupping’ to help a sore back.
The amiable co-hosts of Live! With Kelly And Michael were feeling pretty good by the end of the show on Tuesday thanks to Dr. Daniel Hsu. Kelly and Michael invited the world-famous doctor of acupuncture and herbal medicine to give them a sample of what treatments he performs, and of course the pair couldn’t stop chatting throughout the segment.
The 44-year-old Ripa was volunteered first to get treated for what she said was ‘congestion,’ which involved the placement of tiny needles at certain ‘points’ around her face. Kelly seemed to like it and smiled towards the camera with green needles sticking out of her cheeks.
The adventurous duo – who routinely get into the spirit with exercise demos and other silly games on the ABC show – couldn’t wait to get started. ‘Kickstart the New Year Wellness Edition with a look at acupuncture which with help alleviate pain, treat a variety of illnesses, even give you a facelift,’ Kelly began by telling the audience.
‘How does acupuncture work?’ Kelly asked the good doctor, adding that her husband Mark Consuelos ‘swears by it.’ Dr. Hsu replied: ‘It works by getting your body to create its own natural painkillers and to calm the nervous system down and that helps with all kinds of diseases.’
‘I’m a big proponent. I love acupuncture,’ Michael said.
