Acupuncture is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting fine needles at selected points on the skin to balance the body’s energy(Qi), thereby treating and preventing disease. It is used to treat a wide range of common ailments, relieve pain and promote general health.
Acupuncture has been used in China for more than 3, 000 years and for many centuries in Japan and Korea. Missionaries and doctors brought the treatment to Europe in the 17th century. It has grown in popularity since the 1970s and is now widely taught and practiced in the West.
The therapy’s roots lie in oriental philosophy, which states that all life is based on the interplay of two dynamic forces: Yin and Yang. In the body, these forces are regulated according to the flow of energy in 14 main channels, known as meridians. Most of these meridians connect with a particular inner organ.
【C1】______
Acupuncture is thought to trigger the release of endorphins in the brain. These chemicals affect various body systems, reduce pain and make you feel good.
Traditionally, it’s believed that acupuncture removes blockages and promotes the flow of energy along the meridians, improving the functioning of the internal organs.
【C2】______
Acupuncture has been shown to alleviate ailments including asthma, headaches, menstrual and digestive problems, high blood pressure and pain. It’s also increasingly used in obstetrics and has been found to reduce morning sickness and ease labor.
【C3】______
A therapist will typically ask you to sit or lie on a treatment couch. You may remain fully clothed or be asked to remove outer garments. He or she will then feel 12 pulses— including one for each internal organ—along the radial artery on the outside of each wrist. The abdomen and certain acupuncture points may also be checked for tenderness or pain.
【C4】______
Acupuncture points will then be selected for treatment and needles inserted, either by hand or through a guide tube. This should be quick and painless. Some people feel a mild sensation as the needles are inserted, but this usually passes quickly.
The needles are small and fine. They are usually made of stainless steel, although occasionally they’re gold and silver. They’re sterilized to prevent any risk of infection and most are disposable The needles used vary in length and thickness according to the body part and the type of acupuncture performed.
【C5】______
Other therapies such as moxa and cupping may be used alongside acupuncture. Moxa uses a burning, aromatic herb to warm the skin. Cupping involves placing metal or glass suction cups on cold or painful parts of the body to increase circulation.
[A]In Chinese philosophy, Qi is an energy force that runs throughout the body. In addition, Qi is also prevalent throughout nature as well. Qi is comprised of two parts, Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are opposite forces, that when balanced, work together. Any upset in the balance will result in natural calamities, in nature; and disease in humans.
[B]Some researchers believe the resulting changes in energy can be measured with techniques such as Kirlian photography, which is said to take pictures of energy fields, but more proof is needed.
[C]Animal acupuncture has been used in China since 2000 B. C. , but only has become popular in the U. S. over the past 50 years.
[D]As few as one or two or more than 20 needles may be used in treatment and they are usually left in for 15 to 30 minutes. A course of ten treatments at weekly intervals is common.
[E]In total, the World Health Organization recognizes more than 100 conditions that can be helped by acupuncture.
[F]Next, the color, shape and coating of the tongue, face and skin are checked for signs indicating those internal organs that have problems. The sound of your voice, your breath and any body odors will be noted and questions asked to confirm the diagnosis.
[G]There are many acupoints along each meridian. Inserting needles at these points is said to help regulate the function of the related organ by helping the flow of energy. There are more than 300 acupoints on the body.
