What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves treatment by stimulation of anatomical points on the body, known as

Acupuncture Body Points

 or Acupoints, with the help of specialized thin, solid, metallic sterilized needles. These acupuncture points are distributed along the meridians, which are interconnected throughout the body, and are over a hundred in number. Originated in China some 2000 years ago, Acupuncture developed in Japan, Tibet, Korea, and other East Asian nations with minor variations.

How does Acupuncture work?

Treatment by Acupuncture is based on the theory that bodily ailments are a result of energy imbalance in the body. When the needles are used to stimulate the acupoints, the vital energy gets regulated and proper amount of energy flows to the proper place within the body. This procedure helps the body to heal itself.

Modern acupuncturists also use magnets, lasers, and herbs instead of needles, but the idea remains the same and the results are achieved in a more or less similar fashion.

According to the World Health Organization, the following are amongst a number of diseases that are known to be responsive to acupuncture: acute and chronic pain control, arthritis/arthrosis, anxiety, fright, panic, drug detoxification, frozen shoulder, persistent hiccups, constipation, diarrhea and abdominal distention/flatulence.

Pinpointing a Natural Pain Relief Option
Pain comes in many different shapes and sizes. Pain can rear its ugly head as mild discomfort that "comes and goes" or severe, excruciating agony that takes our breath away.

Building momentum - A career in Chinese medicine
A career in Chinese medicine can be a major step for many people, it is the move from student to practitioner.

With the Help of Oriental Medicine
In Oriental medicine we look at how the organs are working with each other. For instance, the job of the Liver is to smoothly spread Qi to the other organs like a distributor.

Balancing the mind, body and spirit with acupuncture
TCM is based on the belief that health is dependent on the body's energy (Qi)When Qi is unbalanced, illness occurs.

No More Smoking: Acupuncture Erases the Desire and Need
Let's face it: it's not easy to stop. We're dealing with a nicotine addiction that is fed at least ten, if not twenty times a day. It's a dangerous habit.
