What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture has been a major part of primary healthcare in china for the last 5000 years. It is used extensively for a variety of medical purposes ranging from the prevention and treatment of disease, to relieving pain and anesthetizing patients for surgery. As in many oriental medine practices, the emphasis of acupuncture is on prevention. In traditional Chinese medicine, the highest form of acupuncture was given to enable you to live long, healthy life.
Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. Inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points is the technique used to accomplish this.
The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are like river flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that is backing up the flow of water.
Needling the acupuncture points can influence the meridians. The acupuncture needles unblock the obstructions at the dams, and reestablish the regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities, and in the circulation of their energy through the meridians.
The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well being. The treatment of acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of illnesses.
