Acupuncture Fundamentals

 

I am an Acupuncturist and Practitioner of Natural Medicine and listed here are some of the frequent questions I'm asked by patients that are new to Acupuncture and are thinking about making an attempt it for the first time.

 

 

1. What is acupuncture?

 

 

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

 

 

2. How does it work?

 

 

There's a life force that permeates all 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 premise of our well-being and health. If the our bodies Qi isn't flowing effectively 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 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 much like a typical spa treatment the place the lights are dimmed and soft music is performed to facilitate a relaxing atmosphere. In most cases, on insertion of the needles, a slight tingling or numbing sensation will be felt, but it's not unusual for folks to feel nothing at all. After the needles are place the practitioner might slightly manipulate the needles to elicit a stronger sensation and improve the effectiveness of the treatment. After this, the affected person is encouraged to allow 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. But it has also been proven to both enhance the Immune system and down-regulate the Sympathetic Nervous system. Which means it will be an efficient treatment for any condition that's either caused or exacerbated by stress. The list is a long one, and contains many of the commonest medical conditions.

 

 

5. Are there any insider tips about acupuncture that a beginner should know?

 

 

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