Acupuncture was originally designed to be a medicine of
prevention so that people could live a long healthy life to 100 years old.
While we don’t have the instrumentation to understand how acupuncture works
exactly we do know that it does!
Acupuncture works on the idea of keeping the
body’s circulation of blood and energy (qi) flowing. When there is a disruption
in this flow disease occurs. The acupuncture needles stimulate circulation to
correct the disruption in flow and increase circulation. Most people are aware
that acupuncture can help relieve pain especially back pain to headaches and
every muscle and joint in between.
Acupuncture also thrives where western
medicine falls short especially with chronic diseases such as asthma,
allergies, depression, poor sleep or digestion, MS, rheumatoid arthritis,
Raynaud’s disease etc. and can complement western medical treatment without
negative side effects for cancer and fertility treatments. Acupuncture is also
a wonderful treatment for women’s health from irregular or painful periods,
pregnancy related discomforts, turning breech babies, assisting in natural
labor induction, post natal recovery for mom (mother warming) and menopausal
symptoms like hot flashes, dryness, mood swings and insomnia. Regardless of
what people use acupuncture for most everyone notices an improvement in their
quality of sleep, energy, digestion and mood. This link gives a great run
down of what to expect from an acupuncture treatment. And no it doesn’t
hurt! http://acutakehealth.com/what-does-acupuncture-feel-like
