Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a healing method that has been handed down since ancient times. The acupuncturist will use very thin needles to affect each acupoint corresponding to the disease that the patient has. Although it is a popular method, it still makes many people wonder about its safety. So, let's find out in the article 

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a healing technique applied very early in Eastern countries. This is a method of locating acupoints and manipulating needles to relieve pain in many diseases. According to traditional medical documents, a healthy body is when the extremes are always kept in balance. On the contrary, when sick, this balance is already out of balance. Treatment needs to be based on this condition to be effective.

Research has shown that the human body has up to 350 different acupressure points. During treatment, the doctor will determine which acupoint corresponds to the disease to conduct manipulations. This will help the body regain its original balance. Acupuncture uses many long, thin needles with a length of 1 to 7 cm to stimulate the acupuncture points. The depth of the needle depends on the disease state.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture, the therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, is one of the most widely accepted complementary therapies in the Western world and is often part of integrative medicine. Points on the body are stimulated, usually by inserting thin needles into the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Stimulating these specific points is thought to affect the flow of qi (a universal life force) along energy pathways (meridians) and thus restore balance.

Acupuncture is performed using hair-thin needles that are inserted into acupuncture points on the body. Most people report mild pain when the needle is inserted. The needle is inserted into a point that creates a feeling of pressure and soreness. The needle may be heated during treatment or a mild electrical current may be used for stimulation. Some people say acupuncture makes them feel energized. Others say they feel relaxed.

Instead of needles, other forms of stimulation are sometimes used on acupuncture points, including:

-         Heat (heat)

-         Press (reflexology)

-         Friction Suction (cup)

-         Electromagnetic energy pulse
