How Does Acupuncture Work

Acupuncture Is One of the Oldest And Most Effective Forms of Natural Healing

You want to know how does acupuncture work ? Here is a very interesting article from a specialist of the kind, Dr. Glenn Eichenauer:

Acupuncture is of immense medical value and popularity throughout the world because of its therapeutic effectiveness and safety.

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is a well-developed primary and preventative health-care system based on natural energetic principles. It includes Chinese herbal medicine and much, much more.

Dating back over 3,000 years in written documentation in Chinese history, its use is widespread in Asia, Europe, S. America, Africa and in the U.S.

While one of the effects of it is symptom relief, it is much more than this. Properly performed by one with the necessary education and training...at least 4 year of formal education and training...can initiate healing of the root cause of many physical problems, but it does even more.

It has served over the centuries as intervention to re-attune a person to the dynamic balance of health.

What Are Acupuncture Needles Like?

Acupuncture
Acupuncture needles are very thin (almost hair thin) solid (not hollow needles) needles which are inserted in various combinations at over 400 documented effective points on the body. All properly trained acupuncture practitioners use sterilized single-use disposable needles.

Do not get treated by anyone who doesn't use these pre-packaged sterilized single use disposable needles. Needle reuse even if the needles are sterilized by autoclaving is risky, because even if they are sterile the needles can rust and as a result break off in your body.

Properly performed acupuncture is painless.

How Can I Be Sure Acupuncture Is Safe And Effective?

The US National Institutes of Health issued a formal statement regarding the effectiveness of Acupuncture stating its safety and promise in treating many conditions for which Western medicine has little to offer.

The 1997 NIH Consensus Statement concludes that,"promising results have emerged, for example, showing efficacy of acupuncture in adult postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and in postoperative dental pain.

There are other situations such as addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myo-fascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma, in which acu-point needling may be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative or be included in a comprehensive management program.

Are Acupuncture And Oriental Medicine Effective In Treating Any Other Health Problems?

Thousands of years of clinical experience has demonstrated that acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine or as it is commonly becoming know as Oriental Medicine is effective in treating all of the above and more including:

migraine headaches, menstrual pain, menopause symptoms, fibroid tumors, gallbladder disease including stones, kidney problems including stones, incontinence, liver disease, heart disease, lung disease or respiratory disorders including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, common cold symptoms, foot problems including pain and bone spurs, Spleen/Pancreas problems including diabetes both childhood and adult or type 1 and type 2. and weakness, weight-loss, weight gain, muscle wasting, all joint problems including those caused by Arthritis, sports injury healing, auto accident injury healing...and the list goes on and on...
