What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised in China
for thousand of years. It can stimulate the body's self
healing process and help restore it's natural balance.
The qualified doctor will puncture into the body surface at strategic
points using very fine sterilised disposable needles (never re-used)
and leave the needles in place for about twenty to thirty minutes with
different stimulations to achieve therapeutic effects.
The use of needles is virtually painless but you may feel aslight
tingling sensation when the needles are inserted into your body. Most
people experience a feeling of peace and relaxation during acupunc-
ture treatment. You should be fine to travel home alone afterwards.
How does it work?
The theory of the channels is an important component of the theories of
tradtional Chinese medicine, which deals with physiological and patho-
logical changes of the human body. This serves as the guiding principle of dia-
gnosis and treatment. According to this theory, there exists within the human body a system
of channels through which the vital energy and blood circulate and by
which the internal organs are connected with superfical organs and
tissues. The points on the body surface are the particular spots where the vital energy of the inter-
nal organs reaches. When one is ill, the doctor can regulate his flow of
vital energy and blood by puncturing certain poins on his body surface
and thus cure the illness of the associated internal organs.
So acupuncture can produce rapid results but more often it requires a
number of treatments over a period of time.
