Acupuncture as medicine

“ACUPUNCTURE: THE TIME HONOURED-HEALER”

Has anybody heard what Acupuncture is? 

Well, for the Chinese folks it awakens aching and tired nerves. It can ultimately rejuvenate any imbalances which were caused by environmental, emotional, and even physical aspects of humanity. 

As for us humans, we cannot deny the fact that there is no such thing as “invulnerable soul” because our brain is always transmitting unusual channels of feelings that can build us or even tear us apart and as a result, our life energy becomes blocked and the perfect relationship that our body has with it’s components will eventually get damaged. 

Imagine your heart says that it no longer wants to deliver oxygen to your brain because of the intense pressure and great depression that it feels? 

If our body fails to maintain harmony, balance and order, surely wide range of diseases will work it’s way up to deteriorate our health but thanks to the overwhelming benefits of those therapeutic needles, we can now just lay back and reassure ourselves for a miraculous relief that acupuncture can offer.

Would you mind if we’ll go back in time where acupuncture has existed?  

Acupuncture is a time-honoured medicine not just for Chinese but for people from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds. It has built its name after delivering satisfactory healing results to various kinds of disorders. 

It is now pretty much considered as one of the oldest and most long-standing health care system in the world. No wonder, acupuncture is a medical term nowadays for comfort seekers.

Who would have thought that the practice of acupuncture began during the Stone Age when stone knives or sharp edged tools, described by the character 'Bian', were used to puncture and drain abscesses? In fact, the Chinese character 'Bian' means the 'use of a sharp edged stone to treat disease', and the modern Chinese character 'Bi', representing a disease of pain, is almost certainly derived from the use of 'Bian stones' for the treatment of painful complaints. Acupuncture is indeed a relevant history of mankind where you can find yourself grasping relaxation and calmness from within.

*IMPORTANT NOTE:

 The disorders above which appear in bold have been recognised by the World Health Organisation (December 1979) as having been successfully treated by acupuncture. The disorders which do not appear in bold above are other common disorders which have been found to respond well to acupuncture.

As a natural form of healing, acupuncture has the following benefits:

-       provides drug-free pain relief
-       effectively treats a wide range of acute and chronic ailments
-       treats the underlying cause of disease and illness as well as the symptoms
-       provides an holistic approach to the treatment of disease and illness, linking body, mind and emotions
-       Assists in the prevention against disease and illness as well as the maintenance of general well-being.

Through 350 acupuncture points in the body, these meridians and energy flows may be accessed. Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance of the forces. If needles are inserted into these points with appropriate combinations it is said that the energy flow can be brought back into proper balance---EXPERIENCE ACUPUNCTURE, EMBRACE WELLNESS.
