What are the benefits of Acupuncture
June 1st, 2012
Acupuncture originates from China and has been practiced there for thousands of years. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the patient’s skin at specific points on the body – the needles are inserted to various depths. Needles are inserted into these points with appropriate combinations it is said that the energy flow can be brought back into proper balance. There are 350 acupuncture points in the body.This will help balance the yin and yan of the life force known as gi or chi. Acupuncture remains controversial among Western medical doctors and scientists.
Acupuncture is sometimes a better alternative to surgery as it is less invasive for people suffering from back pain. While it will not correct any physical problems like disk herniation or fractures, it can help relieve discomfort and pain for a time. Those suffering from painful ailments like sciatica and osteoarthritis have found relief through acupuncture treatments also.

Thank you for sharing Advin Charles, I tried acupuncture for the first time and just after two visits the pain in my shoulder and arm are almost gone. It is also a lot better than muscle relaxers and pain medication.
DeleteThe best part about acupuncture, for me, is that it can improve an individual’s sleeping habits. It has an incredible ability to shut down these sleeping disorders, leading patients to bring back their normal sleeping habit. This is a good thing, as having the right amount of sleep everyday can help improve one’s health.

I agree with Margaret. I work at night and I really have a hard time sleeping in the morning while everyone in our house is awake. My friend suggested acupuncture and I’m so glad that my sleeping disorders are now gone. I can sleep even though the people around me are a little noisy and I believe that I am healthier after the acupuncture treatments. :D

Listing all of acupuncture’s benefits can make a person pursue the pricking sessions. I was afraid of needles before but after my first acupuncture treatment, needles became my best friends. Now, I can feel that my blood circulation is going back to normal and I can say that I’m living with a healthy and regulated body. :)
