Acupuncture And Homeopathy For Health and Wellness
December 1st, 2008
Acupuncture is a natural system of medicine that originated in China over two thousand years ago. The system was based upon the discovery that stimulation of particular skin areas was associated with related organ function.
As the relation between particular surface areas of the body and the organs was understood more thoroughly, acupuncture practice was developed for the treatment of a wide range of conditions. Today, more than four hundred identified acupuncture points located on different parts of the body are associated with specific effects and functions.
In addition to treating specific condition symptoms, acupuncture also treats the body constitutionally, improving overall health and wellness and increasing vital energy.
Pain is never experienced during acupuncture treatment. As the needles are extremely fine, only a slight prick might be felt. Often, the treatment sensation produced by acupuncture needles is described as a slightly dull ache that lasts for a short time.
Acupuncture treats a wide range of conditions including: asthma, fibromyalgia, eating disorders, anxiety, acid reflux, carpal tunnel syndrome, sleep disorders, sciatica, joint pain, neck pain, arthritis, dental pain, menopausal disorders, PMS, chronic fatigue, tendonitis, depression, and endometriosis.
