WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
The ancient practice of acupuncture originated in China approximately 3000 years ago. The first documentation of acupuncture that described it as an organized system of diagnosis and treatment is in The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, which dates back to 100 BCE.
Some experts believe acupuncture may have been practiced earlier than 100 BC. Before needles were used, sharpened stones and long sharp bones were used for acupuncture treatment around 6,000 BCE. According to literature from the fifth century B.C. to the first century A.D., acupuncture needles were also made from stone.
Acupuncture is a popular medical practice in China for thousands of years. It is an insertion of very fine stainless steel needles into the body as specific points called acupoints. These acupoints have been mapped out by the Chinese ancestors in effectively treating specific health problems. Their location on the body have been confirmed repeatedly through the electromagnetic research of modern Western medicine.
HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?
According to ancient Chinese theory, traditional acupuncture is primarily based on the flow of energy (Chi) and blood (Xue, pronounced shu-ay) through distinct meridians or channels that cover the body. Each meridian has its own designated pathway and a set of acupoints. They are a system of its own similar to the nervous system and the circulatory system. They coverge to form an invisible network of energy. The meridians direct the energy to areas in the body where it is Deficient or sluggish (poor flow), and disperse from where it is Excess or congested (too much flow), to alleviate the blockage. In this way, acupuncture can regulate and restore the balance in the affected area of the body. Harmony, thus, is achieved through out the entire body.
Acupuncture, by far, is one of the most natural and effective method to treat chronic and acute problems. It is devoid of side effects that medications produce. The effects are lasting and promising, helping the body to restore its natural balance. Healing the body naturally without external chemical intervention is an ideal way to achieve optimal health.
DOES IT HURT?
It is a very relaxing and wonderful experience for many who've had acupuncture with us. The sensation from the insertion of a needle is nearly painless as the needles are much finer than the ones used to draw blood from. RELAX...You will surely enjoy it!
