Acupuncture, one of the traditional Chinese medical therapies, is certified by the WHO and FDA (USA), it is also an ancient Chinese method of healing. Herbal therapies may often be combined with acupuncture treatment. By combining Western knowledge and techniques, acupuncture has become an acceptable and sought after treatment for many disorders. Acupuncture improves blood circulation and energy flow in the body to balance bodily functions (yin and yang) and gradually eliminate aches and pains. Although the aches and pains are located at specific points in the body, this holistic approach to treatment does not concentrate on any one particular area of pain because it regards the different parts of the body as a whole. This makes the treatment effective on the entire system. Acupuncture needles and their positioning must be suited to each patient’s physiology. It’s also important that the needles be sterile and disposable to ensure the patient’s total safety.
Acupuncture can help with a wide range of health problems, because acupuncturists always work to sort out the cause of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms. The gentle nature of the treatments makes them suitable for all ages.
