Acupuncture Basics

 

I am an Acupuncturist and Practitioner of Natural Medicine and listed here are a few of the common questions I am asked by patients which can be new to Acupuncture and are concerned with trying it for the primary time.

 

 

1. What's acupuncture?

 

 

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

 

 

2. How does it work?

 

 

There is a life force that permeates all the cells that make up the human body. This life force, or energy field, is called Qi in traditional Asian medicine and it is the premise of our well-being and health. If the our bodies Qi isn't flowing efficiently or if the Qi is deficient, 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 bodies return to its natural state of well-being.

 

 

3. What is a typical session like?

 

 

An acupuncture session is often performed while the affected person is lying comfortably on a massage table. It's just like a typical spa remedy where the lights are dimmed and soft music is performed to facilitate a calming atmosphere. In most cases, on insertion of the needles, a slight tingling or numbing sensation may be felt, however it's not unusual for individuals to really feel nothing at all. After the needles are place the practitioner may slightly manipulate the needles to elicit a stronger sensation and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. After this, the patient is inspired to permit the body and mind to enter the meditative state, the place the healing benefits are optimized.

 

 

4. What are the benefits of it?

 

 

Acupuncture is most well-known for assuaging 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 might be an efficient treatment for any condition that is either caused or exacerbated by stress. The list is a long one, and includes many of the most common medical conditions.

 

 

5. Are there any insider tips about acupuncture that a newbie ought to know?

 

 

Improvements in well-being will continue for hours and even days after the session is over, and this effect will be compounded with subsequent sessions. So, for this reason, it's beneficial to observe up with 5 or more classes before deciding if Acupuncture is right for you.
