The practice of acupuncture and oriental medicine in recent years has come to the fore in terms of treatment. With a documented history of 5000 years, this ancient healing art provides us with an alternative to traditional medicine and side effects that are too often felt.
Acupuncture is considered a functional medicine. that it removes the underlying causes of the disease and is very personalized for each person. For example, two people may receive acupuncture treatment for headaches, but because their underlying cause is individual and unique to each person, their treatment may be significantly different. When treating the underlying cause, the symptoms either completely disappear or significantly decrease.
Eastern medical practice includes four main areas.
Acupuncture. Acupuncture is the stimulation of certain points along the body with either a needle, a laser, or pressure. Stimulating these points causes a chemical cascade in the body that creates an optimal environment for the body to heal itself. No side effects exist as no external chemicals are introduced. Acupuncture needles - thin hair. and are not as painful as ordinary needles.
Qi Gong. Literally translated as “breathing practice.” Qigong consists of breathing exercises that help move and cleanse the energy pathways of the body. This again creates an optimal environment for the regeneration and healing of the body as a whole. Some of the effects of medical qigong include lowering blood pressure, increased immune function and regulation of hormones.
Food. “Food is a medicine” is the basis of functional nutritional therapy. The fact that we nourish our bodies creates what we are at the cellular level. Acupuncturists prescribe nutritional therapy, as well as an additive to herbs and nutrients, to help their patients achieve optimal health.
Life style. Acupuncturists offer lifestyle advice to help patients not only achieve optimal health, but also maintain it for life.
