Acupuncture is
one of the oldest, and most commonly used alternative or
‘complimentary medical’ procedures in the world. Originating
in China more than 5,000 years ago, acupuncture became
widely known in the United States in the 1970s. Numerous
studies have documented the validity and health benefits of
acupuncture treatments.
The Chinese discovered that
there is an energy network navigating just below the
surface of the skin between over 1000 "Acupoints",
which communicates between your bodies exterior and
internal structures and organs, which works in
harmony with the body's central nervous,
circulatory, muscular, digestive, genitourinary, as
well as all other body systems.
Acupuncture treatments
stimulate these "Acupoints",
for the purpose of restoring harmony between the
energy network and the rest of your bodies systems
and organs. Acupuncture treatments promotes your
bodies natural healing ability to take place.
Acupuncture practitioners are trained to select
several relevant points to help the body restore
harmony.
Acupuncture treatments may help prevent
illness by improving the overall functioning of
the body's immune and organ systems.
The main
objectives of Acupuncture treatment is
to:
Treat existing illnesses and
injuries and to alleviate pain;
Strengthen the immune system
thus preventing illness;
Achieve balance, harmony thus improving
overall health. |
