Western Science Proving Eastern Theories

Article Description:

====================

While acupuncture has been around for hundreds of years (and

acupressure for thousands of years), it has only recently begun

to be validated by western medicine. Many organizations in

western medicine have now admitted that acupuncture does offer

many benefits to its patients. Although many people think

acupuncture is just poking people with needles, its background is

much more scientific than that.

While acupuncture has been around for hundreds of years (and

acupressure for thousands of years), it has only recently begun

to be validated by western medicine. Many organizations in

western medicine have now admitted that acupuncture does offer

many benefits to its patients. Although many people think

acupuncture is just poking people with needles, its background is

much more scientific than that.

Acupuncture relates to the energy and the flow of it throughout

the body. The flow of the energy through meridians is the

essential component of acupuncture. The needles help to alleviate

any blockage in these pathways throughout the body. By clearing

out a meridian, it allows vital energy to travel through the

body. This in turn, allows the body to work as it should.

Acupuncture is part of Oriental tradition and is widely accepted

there as a form of medical treatment. It has slowly gained

credibility over the years in the western hemisphere. Today, a

large percentage of hospitals in the United States use it to

treat pain.

It has been proven to help the body in several different ways.

They include reducing pain levels, as well as making pain more

tolerable. It can help regulate your emotions and keep you from

getting too high or too low. It undoubtedly can increase your

energy, which almost everyone could use. It has also been proven

to help you perform your everyday tasks more efficiently and

generally enhance your quality of life. It also can help reduce

dependency on medications that you might be using too frequently.

In China acupuncture is also used as anesthesia on patients.

Large organizations have gradually accepted acupuncture and admit

the amazing effects it can have on a person. The World Health

Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture to treat over 30

different conditions or diseases. The list includes but is not

limited to: Headache, migraine, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Peripheral

neuropathies, Cervicobrachial syndrome, " Frozen Shoulder " ,

" Tennis Elbow " , Sciatica and low back pain, and Osteoarthritis.

It has also been shown to help common sicknesses like cold and

flu.

Several studies involving placebo and double blind aspects have

proven the benefits of acupuncture. One study had one group of

patients actually receive treatment. Another group thought they

were getting acupuncture. The second group witnessed a tool like

a theatrical knife that retracted when pushed against the skin.

The patients felt a poke of the needle; however, it never

actually penetrated the skin. The study showed that the group who

actually received treatment had much better results than the

group that didn't.

Another study used brain imaging to determine pain levels in its

test subjects. Pain was induced in all of the subjects. Then some

were given acupuncture directly after. Those that were treated

showed a much lower pain level in the brain. These studies helped

to prove that acupuncture helps healing as well as pain

management.

Overall, acupuncture is a treatment that has been proven to be

extremely beneficial to nearly everyone. Whether you suffer from

back pain, arthritis, or a host of other diseases, acupuncture

may help. However, the only way to know for sure is to try it out

for your self.
