ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is one of the main forms of treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is used to treat headaches, cancer, infertility, stress, high blood pressure, neck and back pain, insomnia, and menopause, arthritis, asthma, hay fever, carpel tunnel, restless leg, skin disorders and many more health conditions.

 How does Acupuncture Work?

To understand how acupuncture works we must first understand the basics of Chinese philosophy. The energy force Qi  (pronounced “chee”) regulates the emotional, mental, spiritual and physical harmony of the body by keeping Yin and Yang in balance.

Practitioners of Acupuncture believe that the vital energy or the force Qi,  flows between the skins surface and through the blood stream through out the body along pathways called meridians which are linked to an internal organ system. When the needles are placed in the body they stimulate the Qi enhancing its flow and seeking blockages bringing balance (Yin and Yang) to the body, along with it restoring the body back to normal/balance, which is health.

How is Acupuncture done?

Acupuncture is the insertion of sharp thin acupuncture needles unlike the hollow hypodermic needles that we are familiar with  that are used to draw blood, or give injections, these very thin needles are inserted in the body at specific points. The needle is inserted into the body from 1/5 of an inch to 3 inches deep.  The needles can be placed in your arms, legs, head, neck, ears, abdomen or a combination of these depending on the treatment or the part of the body you are treating.  This is usually painless; the insertion of the needles stimulates and adjusts the body’s energy flow into healthier patterns, thus bringing your body back in balance and restoring health.

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Acupuncture is a safe and as mentioned before, virtually painless form of complimentary medicine.  I would urge you to try acupuncture before you take a dangerous prescription medication, possibly causing side effects. 

You will be amazed at the results you will get from just one acupuncture treatment.  Natural remedies such as acupuncture are much safer than prescription medications.

Acupuncture is used to treat many more health conditions than I have mentioned here. To discover which conditions acupuncture is used to treat and to find an acupuncturist in your area click here   www.medicalacupuncture.org/index.html
