HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?
Acupuncture works by stimulating the body to heal itself. Each
of the many hundred acupuncture points has its own special healing
function. Most of the points are linked along meridians or
energy pathways which travel to internal organs or the brain.
Some points relax us, some stimulate sluggish internal organs and
some balance us. Others remove pain.
After the
practitioner has diagnosed the patient�s condition, a choice of
points is made that best suits the problem. The acupuncture
needles are placed in these positions and the body responds by doing
what is needed. The meridians transmit the messages to remove
either physical pain or emotional discomfort, making the organs
function normally again and creating a feeling of wellbeing.
So,
acupuncture works without drugs, to enhance the very powerful
natural healing processes of our body. |
