Acupuncture is a complimentary medical practice that works by stimulating certain points on the body, usually with a needle that penetrates the skin to help alleviate pain, and treat other health conditions. It is often used by athletes who need to recover quickly from high intensity sporting activities, but it is also used for a range of other conditions.
The report explains that the Classical Chinese explanation for how the procedure works is that energy (Qi) flows in channels throughout the body and over its surfaces. These channels, which are referred to as meridians, encompass 12 different types of energy that flow over and through the human body.
Each major organ of the body is associated with its own energy channel, and it's through these channels, which can be thought of as highways, that the internal organs are connected to certain parts of the body, including the muscles, bones, joints and other organs.
The Chinese believe that good health is found in a balance of this energy both within the body and between the body and the external environment. This ensures that Qi flows smoothly to nourish organs and tissues.
Acupuncture points are the specific points along these energy channels where the Qi is both concentrated and accessible. The goal is to restore the balance, which can help the body in a number of ways.
Traditional Oriental medicine has been around for thousands of years, and provides people today with a unique and holistic apportion to maintaining good health and helping the body.
