An ancient Chinese healing technique is used even today – Acupuncture which is very similar to acupressure. Acupuncture is normally used to maintain good health and treat ill-health by using really fine needles that are inserted into the individual’s skin at certain points that are located along the meridian pathways of energy. In times of good health, the energy flows freely through the meridians but injuries and disease tend to block the flow.It is brought down to a simplistic explanation of getting the Qi or Chi to flow without any blockage through the human body in order to maintain a state of good health. There are a total of 365 different acupuncture points scattered across the exterior surface of the body, these follow the paths of 14 main meridians.

Special needles or acupressure used at precise locations along these meridians release the blockages by stimulating the trapped chi. It’s like removing accumulated debris from a river so it can resume flowing freely. Chi may also flow either too quickly or too slowly, in which case acupuncture is used to regulate the stream of energy.

This form of medicine has been practiced in China for at least 4,000 years, with these needles found in archaeology digs of the late Shang Dynasty (c. Acupuncture is of three kinds: traditional Yin/Yang Theory, Five Elements and the Western or medical acupuncture. All three use similar diagnostic methods and the same system of points, but they take a different approach to the underlying causes of an illness and its treatment.

Chinese medicine’s five element cycle is the basis for the Five Element Acupuncture discipline; the belief here is that ailments are caused by both physical conditions and emotional stress. Based on this it is thought that only if inner stress is taken care off then physical illness or symptoms can be cured. Full recovery is a slow process as the emphasis in the five element process is on finding and treating the cause of the illness. The old yin/yang theory of acupuncture mainly concentrates in bringing back the entire balance of the yin and yang in the human body. Combinations of the different acupuncture points on the meridians are simultaneously stimulated so that more than one element is affected.

Western acupuncture combines Eastern and Western medical techniques and its focus is more on urgent short term treatment. Out of the two sub categories, anesthetic acupuncture is the first and it is mostly used in surgical and dental procedures. The second sub-category is that first-aid or symptomatic isn’t used for the illness’s diagnosis but in order to assist with the temporary relief of analgesic pain. Some very respectable and reputable medical research has shown that it has been very effective at treating allergies, depression, arthritis, asthma, gynecological disorders, infertility, high blood pressure and migraines. Acupuncture is found to be one of the most effective methods to treat illnesses that persist for a long time without any results from conventional treatment or when the illness is caused by problems caused by one’s lifestyle.
