Acupuncture Basics

 

I am an Acupuncturist and Practitioner of Natural Medicine and listed here are some of the frequent questions I am asked by patients which can be new to Acupuncture and are desirous about trying it for the primary time.

 

 

1. What is acupuncture?

 

 

Acupuncture is the insertion of extremely-fine, single use, sterilized needles into specific points on the body.

 

 

2. How does it work?

 

 

There is a life force that permeates all of the cells that make up the human body. This life force, or energy subject, is called Qi in traditional Asian medicine and it is the basis of our well-being and health. If the our bodies Qi just isn't flowing efficiently or if the Qi is poor, it will lead to disharmony, pain and disease. The insertion of the needles below the surface of the skin activates the circulation of this energy, and thus facilitates the our bodies return to its natural state of well-being.

 

 

3. What is a typical session like?

 

 

An acupuncture session is usually performed while the patient is mendacity comfortably on a massage table. It's similar to a typical spa treatment where the lights are dimmed and soft music is played to facilitate a calming atmosphere. In most cases, on insertion of the needles, a slight tingling or numbing sensation might be felt, however it's not uncommon for folks to feel nothing at all. After the needles are place the practitioner may slightly manipulate the needles to elicit a stronger sensation and improve the effectiveness of the treatment. After this, the patient is inspired to permit the body and mind to enter the meditative state, where the healing benefits are optimized.

 

 

4. What are the benefits of it?

 

 

Acupuncture is most famous for alleviating all types pain. However it has also been proven to both enhance the Immune system and down-regulate the Sympathetic Nervous system. Which means it could be an efficient treatment for any condition that's either caused or exacerbated by stress. The list is a protracted one, and contains many of the most common medical conditions.

 

 

5. Are there any insider recommendations on acupuncture that a beginner ought to know?

 

 

Improvements in well-being will proceed for hours and even days after the session is over, and this impact might be compounded with subsequent sessions. So, for this reason, it's recommended to observe up with 5 or more periods before deciding if Acupuncture is true for you.
