Alternative drugs and remedies are often considered today when typical or prescribed procedures or regimens cannot match the meaning. Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture have been practiced for thousands of years and are well known for managing pain and a wide range of conditions safely and effectively. In addition, acupuncture may serve as an additional or alternative therapeutic measure for disorders that are often difficult to treat with conventional medications.
The International Headache Society has developed a classification system for migraine and head and defines migraine as one of the main types of primary headaches. It is estimated that approximately 28 million Americans suffer from migraines on an ongoing basis.
Migraine can be irritating and debilitating, it manifests with physical symptoms such as acute and throbbing pain on one side of the head, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and possibly vomiting. Some patients also reported other symptoms, such as dizziness, irritability, insomnia, tinnitus, back pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, or need to go to bed. A migraine attack can occur due to food allergies and intolerance, improper diet, emotional worries, stress, long working hours without adequate rest, menstruation, weather changes, just to name a few.
The National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization recognize acupuncture as effective in treating more than 40 western medical illnesses, disorders and symptoms, including migraine pain. Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture is a safe, effective alternative therapy that can be used for migraine pain. Acupuncture activates the body’s natural healing potential by treating the root causes that led to the problem or disease. Studies show that acupuncture triggers the body’s own mechanisms for the production and release of its own painkillers. These chemicals are endorphins and dopamine, opioid-like compounds that create a feeling of well-being and reduce pain.
Acupuncture treats each person holistically and individually, not a single person is the same. Each cell in the human body is connected to others and functions as part of an integrated whole. In other words, acupuncture surpasses all people, not just parts and parts. The root causes of a symptom that two people experience can be completely different.
Acupuncture is an effective preventive medicine without negative side effects, only positive. Acupuncture is a completely natural therapy and works directly with the body’s natural processes, not against them. No drugs are ever used. Invasive procedures and drug therapy used in treatment in the West can cause unwanted side effects and accumulate toxicity in the body. Acupuncture does not have these side effects. In fact, the sensations are great - the most frequently reported results.
Compared with some expensive Western medicines, treatments and drugs, acupuncture is affordable and effective, and it can help you avoid future medical costs and complications in the future when it is used as a primary treatment plan or adjuvant therapy. Acupuncture can also help you change your lifestyle and prevent future illness.
