Acupuncture is considered a science of internal medicine who has been very well received for its extensive application, secure efficiency, almost no side effects and easy application.
The ancient China and the rest of the East have helped many patients in restoring their health, to the extent that is still used today and some physicians to combine their official activity, since in many cases is a complement to the treatment of certain diseases or ailments that have not reached the level of disease.
Today the classic technique of needles has been expanded with the implementation of new technologies such electropuntura, laser, other striperpuntura and other health professionals have been experiencing in their daily work.
The ancient practice experience and has accumulated a great experience that has become very particular theoretical system which has come down to us endowed with several advantages.
I do not say anything new and I never tire of repeating in my articles that if you follow some rules to maintain the balance between man and his environment, health does not disappear because it is the result of that balance. That balance is essential for a proper diet, adequate rest times, practice exercises are also appropriate and if our thinking and activity are suitable intelecual health will be the result of this psycho-physical balance. There is again the holistic philosophy that understands the man and health as a whole and not a separate part for each section of the body.
The technique of a particular method that is through the puncture with very thin metal needles at specific points that lie along invisible pathways called MERIDIAN body. Should be practiced by experts, it is not simple puncture but influences the depth of it, the degree of tilt and orientation of the needle, and so on. The treatment almost painless and often accompanied by a tingling, cramping or pulled muscles relieved brief few seconds. We placed the needles lie these are handled and after a time span of 20 to 30 minutes are extracted without pain.
The acupuncture treatment may be associated with other oriental treatments as massage tui na, moxibustion, cupping and more modern electric currents.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and other medical organizations recognize and adopt these practices, defining diseases treatable by this method, some are:
- Pain
- Gastrointestinal Diseases
- Aftermath of certain paralysis
- Insomnia
- Anxiety or depression
- Asthma
As a rule one can speak of functional disorders in which surgery is not applied. As always, early-stage treatment and even prevention is more effective than its application in certain phases of the disease. It is also useful when they can not apply the traditional treatments or when complications with certain drugs. Always an indication of its use has come recommended by a health professional.
Never remove the acupuncture treatment, other treatments are following the consultant to the contrary must be understood and applied in some cases as an alternative and a complement to medical treatments.
Properly no side effects and health using current methods, using single-use needles that are then thrown away any possible infection by cantact.
Today much is said about its use to counteract the craving or eating, as I mentioned in a paragraph above is best implemented as a complement to a more widespread and also matched by a healthy lifestyle.
Despite some official recognition, the pharmaceutical industry does not support their use as research on outcomes not on its implementation, health institutions only enter this specific field of research and studies of them come now exist.
I hope this article can dispel any possible suspicion that may exist towards this practice and encourage some to the test and know their purpose, building on knowledge and technique that no matter how modern it is miraculous and the effects can vary greatly depending on the consultant and who also takes practice.
