What Is Acupuncture?
I would like to explain how Acupuncture works for our ailments
since many people are curious about it. Most American patients
and people think Acupuncture to be the mysterious and magical
treatment for just stimulating our nerves. But, I can say those
ideas are incorrect. Therefore, I want to give you correct
information about Acupuncture treatments.
The first thing you have to do when you approach Acupuncture is
to get rid of concepts you have experienced through Western
medicine. Acupuncture has been developed for more than 3,000
years differently from western medical science, which means
there are different theories and methods to treat our body.
In the Oriental medical concept, the reason we got sick is
because we lost the balance in our body. Our internal organs
face with each other and are related to each other. For example,
the lungs stand face to face with the bladder. That’s why we
might urinate when we cough. For this reason, our organs much be
balanced well. And the balanced body develops the proper
immunity against any kind of virus.
Acupuncture treatment is for that strong balance for our body.
It doesn’t insert the chemical medication into our body for
healing like injection, but it helps our organs fulfill their
functions for protecting our body from illness. Without any
control by chemical medication, Acupuncture treatment doesn’t
give us side effects that drugs might cause by Acupuncture
treatment.
In Oriental medicine, herb medication is 50 percent more
effective if combined with Acupuncture treatment. Herb
medication itself doesn’t work as well with Acupuncture. That’s
why California issues licenses to Acupuncturists. By trying
Acupuncture treatment, if you have any kind of ailments, you’ll
see firsthand how Acupuncture works for your body.
I will provide more information about Acupuncture and Oriental
Medicine in my next article. If you have further questions,
