Puncture is relatively safe, beneficial treatment strategy that can be used to reduce pain, improve healing, and increase overall wellness. But exactly how this procedure done and what benefits are available? <br />
<br />

Procedure for needle <br />
<br />
There are two broad categories of <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-and-autism.html"><b>acupuncture</b> </a>practice today, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and medical <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-is-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b>.</a> Both have their merits, so the choice is individual. The decision of the majority of individuals depends on which philosophy appeals more to them and that the technique has the slightest apprehension. <br />
<br />
In TCM, practitioners adhere to the concept of Qi or energy flow and meridians on which they travel. They use longer needles and insert them to reach deeper <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/primer-on-medical-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> points. Modern science has found little evidence to prove the existence of these channels of energy, but this is the technique that has been used effectively for thousands of years. <br />
<br />
In medical <b>acupuncture, </b>practitioners are graduates of Western medical schools. Her needling is not based on traditional <b>acupuncture</b> points, but the anatomical data. These acupuncturists use shorter needles and the insertions are shallower. They also tend to use fewer needles and leave them inserted for shorter periods of time. Adherents of traditional Chinese medicine this is a watered-down version of reality. However, many patients have felt relief of symptoms through this method. <br />
<br />
Conditions for applying puncture <br />
<br />
There is a wide and extensive list of diseases that can be treated with<b> acupuncture.</b> Conditions ranging from asthma to constipation, anxiety to weight loss. Most TCM practitioners believe that health results from an imbalance in the flow of Qi, therefore susceptible to needle therapy. Western acupuncturists tend to have a more limited list of indications, the most common of which is undoubtedly pain control. <br />
<br />
Pain management is the most studied of all the indications of <b>acupuncture</b>. There is a definite effect beneficial for most patients using this method. Migraines, PMS, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and neuralgias are but a few examples. The theory behind its effectiveness is also medically accepted and well-researched, called the gate theory of pain control. Affirms that the needles can stimulate nerves at blocking pain impulses triggers. <br />
<br />
Expected Result drilling session <br />
<br />
It is important to note that <b>acupuncture</b> is used only on top of current medical treatment. At no time should discontinue the medication of a patient or ignore medical instructions in favor of needle puncture. After undergoing a needle system, the primary care physician can make an assessment with regard to the reduction of dependence on other therapies. <br />
<br />
A course of<b> acupuncture</b> therapy last from a few weeks to several months. This depends on the complexity of the particular medical condition. The results also vary, so it's important to have a frank discussion with <b>acupuncture </b>on expected results and timeframe. In general, the patient will begin to feel the beneficial effects after three or four sessions. Specific conditions in fact be a little worse before improving to stay informed is key. <br />
<br />
In modern medicine, the use of traditional techniques with proven results has become a widely accepted practice. <b>Acupuncture</b> has proven its worth time and again. Current practice guidelines make it effective, reproducible and safe. It is a gift of healing form ancient sages has the potential to bring relief to millions of people.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-12754162268318162352010-11-05T19:06:00.012+08:002010-11-13T19:47:22.476+08:00Acupuncture and AutismStudies have shown that there is an increase in the number of children who have been diagnosed with autism. Until now, doctors have not yet found a cure for this disease is that some parents want to experiment with alternative forms of treatment and an example is<a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-and-autism.html"> <b>acupuncture. </b></a><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-is-acupuncture.html">Acupuncture</a> </b>is a holistic approach in treating and preventing certain diseases. Its main tool are very thin needles are inserted at specific points in the body. The body has 400 of them linked through a system known as meridians or channels. Once these are stimulated, these are supposed to strike a balance in the body. <br />
<br />
Instead Autism is a brain disorder that is long term. This disease is characterized by deficits in language, social communication and cognition. Children who are diagnosed with this disease may also suffer from secondary problems such as aggression, irritability, stereotypes, hyperactivity, negativism, volatile emotions, temper tantrums, short attention span and obsessive-compulsive behavior. <br />
<br />
Preliminary studies have shown that <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/primer-on-medical-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture </b></a>may provide symptomatic relief to children suffering from autism. Although difficult at first, is believed to be rewarding in the long term. This is because while conventional therapy and treatment requires the child to stay still, <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/finding-good-school-of-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> is not. Some say it's a quick jab to the body's vital points. <br />
<br />
A group of children in the U.S. participated in a test for the effectiveness of <b>acupuncture</b> is one of the children. There are 22 participants and each was given the treatment once every two days for four months. <br />
<br />
After treatment 20 of the 22 respondents showed a remarkable improvement. In fact two of them has cerebral blood flow. The only thing not changed before and after treatment was the flow of blood between the left and right brain, and showed no differences. <br />
<br />
In addition to traditional <b>acupuncture </b>to help children with autism, a preliminary study in Hong Kong is trying to see if tongue <b>acupuncture</b> can produce better results. <br />
<br />
The results showed that 30 respondents in the test, majority showed functional improvement of various degrees depending on age and severity of their disabilities. Some improvement was noticeable within a few TAC sessions, especially for drooling, spasticity (scissors or nails), ataxia, and imbalance when walking. Functional improvement was observed after one to two courses of TAC. Most children tolerated TAC well, with only occasional minor pain and bleeding in some patients. <br />
<br />
The reason why tongue<b> acupuncture</b> is that experience is that there is a connection between language and the heart through the meridians that spread to all organs in the body. It is believed that the points of the tongue can influence the status of other organs of the body, giving relief to those suffering from autism. <br />
<br />
But many believe that <b>acupuncture </b>alone can not help sufferers of autism. You must be combined with other things like maintaining a special diet to help improve morale and communication schools. Although it is only short term, it is better than nothing until a cure is found. <br />
<br />
When a cure is found? Only time will tell, as there are many other issues that have to respond to doctors to better understand neurological disabilities. Doctors who are conducting research believe that an interdisciplinary approach is needed, given that <i>acupuncture </i>has shown positive results in helping children with autism.<br />

For those who are obese, perhaps surgery is the best option but for those who can not, can try to see if <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-and-weight-loss.html"><b>acupuncture</b> </a>can help remove excess weight. <br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/quick-start-guide-acupuncture.html">Acupuncture</a> </b>is a holistic healthcare that uses needles to help treat a patient. Unlike the cartoon in the balloon pop and all the air goes out, the needles are inserted into the vital points that stimulate the body to release endorphins thus helping to control appetite. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
But before needles are inserted, the specialist will first ask the patient some questions and a review. This is necessary to understand the cause of the person to be overweight. <br />
<br />
Part of the review is to help the acupuncturist figure where the needles are inserted. Your pulse will give the person an idea of your overall energy and overall health of your stomach. <br />
<br />
You also need to open your mouth and sticking out your tongue to check for cracks, peeling, or swelling in the stomach area, offering clues to why you are overweight. <br />
<br />
Once he or she knows the reason, this is the time that the needles are inserted into different body parts. One way is called multi-targeted approach is designed to reduce body weight by increasing the output of the pituitary gland. <br />
<br />
The areas where the needles will be inserted in the ear and in two of the three parts of the body. These areas could also include the mouth, stomach, lung, endocrine system, spleen, kidney, or thyroid. <br />
<br />
During initial treatment, the "Four Gate" points are used to distribute energy throughout the body. It is also possible that computer simulation can also be done to increase endorphin release and stimulate metabolism. <br />
<br />
These needles are kept in place for 30 to 45 minutes depending on how much support is needed. These are then removed and replaced with TAC ear with adhesive to ensure that they are in the same place the needles. <br />
<br />
These works by applying gentle pressure TAC ear whenever he or she feels hungry. It produces a mild endorphin release and helps the patient relax making it possible to use your willpower and resist the temptation to eat. <br />
<br />
The patient may also have to reduce cravings for certain foods by reducing consumption. Some studies suggest that insulin levels may also lower lipid levels or blood. <br />
<br />
The best part about <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-and-autism.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> is that there are no harmful side effects and no possibility of an addiction to occur. The patient must return for regular treatment and have to pay attention to your diet and exercise regularly as needles can only do much to control their weight. <br />
<br />
The number of treatments for someone who is overweight varies depending on how many pounds you want to lose, the speed at which you want to lose and its commitment to adhere to the plan. <br />
<br />
The average patient on the other hand who wants to lose 5 to 10 pounds will have to come for treatment every three days or twice a week and then once this is done once every two weeks. Corresponds to the person until when the treatment will be showing that<b> acupuncture </b>can help you lose weight.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-38762296173884347742010-11-05T19:05:00.016+08:002010-11-13T19:48:20.919+08:00Acupuncture can help treat migraines<a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-can-help-treat-migraines.html"><b>Acupuncture </b>can help treat migraines.</a> This was discovered after a comparative study was performed with conventional medical care. In some cases, even prevent it from happening which helps improve the quality of life for the patient. <br />
<br />
To understand how <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-and-weight-loss.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> helps migraine sufferers, you have to understand that in traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that an imbalance in the flow of blood and energy causes this to happen. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
To the question, the specialist must relieve the tension by inserting needles into the body to improve blood flow to the brain which reduces the pain experienced during an attack. <br />
<br />
The needles used helps the body balance the serotonin levels, since it is a neurotransmitter that affects blood vessels and has a role in migraine. In fact, the most common of these sessions are best. You can even reach a point at the specific point of contact is no longer necessary, but the general stimulation itself. <br />
<br />
The end result of undergoing <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/quick-start-guide-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> is amazing. If the experience of 15 to 20 days of agonizing pain, this may be a countdown to only 8 days. Not even have to use this drug much more than before. <br />
<br />
For those who are working, this is good so it is not absent from work and there will be so much in salary deductions. <br />
<br />
But how well <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-and-autism.html"><b>acupuncture</b> </a>is for a patient may vary with another. This depends on the condition of the attack and the individual. <br />
<br />
The best part about <b>acupuncture </b>is that there are no side effects and is painless. business professionals can do this so you do not suffer from hematoma or pneumothorax. Another disease is potentially dangerous is HIV or hepatitis, which can be prevented, of course, as long as the needles used are properly sterilized. It will be much better if the person uses disposable needles. <br />
<br />
<b>Acupuncture </b>has been practiced in the United States for more than two decades. Although tests have shown its effectiveness may be for the treatment of chronic diseases and certain addictions, more studies should be done to see what else can be useful. <br />
<br />
Although one test has shown that <b>acupuncture</b> can help migraines, other tests will also have to do to prove if this is true. Until such time that other results are published, patients have to resort to conventional medicine that is prescribed by a physician. <br />
<br />
But you do not have to wait for the results to exit. If you think it's worth a try, go for it. Just ask for a referral from your doctor, as there are many professionals who have accepted the fact that alternative forms of medicine can also help a patient. <br />
<br />
You can also find someone online. You can be sure they are certified if they are recognized by the National Certification Commission for <i>Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. </i><br />
<br />
Other than that, you should also make some lifestyle changes as there are triggers that have been known to cause migraines. Stress is the number one on the list so you can get enough rest and exercise and a balanced diet. <br />
<br />
Patients suffering from migraine should also check whether <b>acupuncture</b> is covered by their HMO. Most insurance providers and HMO these days cover all or part of the cost, but there are restrictions so you should check what is covered by your policy.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-81755599459518891662010-11-05T19:05:00.015+08:002010-11-13T19:47:42.474+08:00Acupuncture can help you quit smokingSmoking is a hard habit to break. If nicotine patches and gum does not work, maybe you should try something else, as an alternative form of healthcare like <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-can-help-you-quit-smoking.html"><b>acupuncture. </b></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-can-help-treat-migraines.html"><b>Acupuncture</b></a> is an ancient practice involving the use of needles. This instrument is inserted into the skin to allow the energy or Qi to start flowing freely around your body and help to stop smoking. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
To go visit an acupuncturist for the first time and tell them you want to quit smoking, after answering some questions, the specialist will perform a hearing test and the search for areas where energy is low. <br />
<br />
Once these points are identified, these sharp needles are inserted. Usually five needles are placed on different <b>acupuncture</b> points. <br />
<br />
The treatment is complete after one hour and when the needles are removed, we recommend using ear magnets for the session continues even when you leave the clinic. While <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-and-weight-loss.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> itself is a painless procedure, some smokers have claimed he was a prick or sleepy. <br />
<br />
Most smokers will have to come to the clinic 4 to 6 times before seeing significant results. Just to give an idea, a study shows that respondents reported a decrease in the number of urge to smoke just after one or two sessions. Seven out of ten respondents were able to quit after 5 or 6 sessions. <br />
<br />
Since the number of subjects is small, there are some who doubt the effectiveness of <b>acupuncture. </b>This is because although there are positive signs in terms of short-term effects of this technique, its effects were not sustained. Therefore, some medical journals have stated that it is unclear what <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/quick-start-guide-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> can do to stop smoking. <br />
<br />
But remember that <b>acupuncture</b> is not permanent. Just start something you have to complete on their own. Some smokers who go 2 or 3 times a week to the clinic will have to return for follow-up sessions in the future. <br />
<br />
At the same time, you have to find ways to prevent the possibility of taking a cigarette. You can do this by staying away from people who smoke, because the temptation to ask for a stick. You can create your own personal mantra that repeats itself every time you have an emergency. <br />
<br />
Remember that this desire is only short term and last only a few minutes. You have worked so hard to leave this behind so stick to the path and stay smoke-free. <br />
<br />
<b>Acupuncture </b>treatment for smokers should only be performed by a licensed professional. You can do some research online to see if they are accredited by the National Commission for <b>Acupuncture</b> and Oriental Medicine, ask how long they have been in the profession, find out how many smokers who have helped and how much they charge. <br />
<br />
Once you have found one, you have to commit to the program because both you and acupuncturist have to work together to kick the habit. <br />
<br />
<b>Acupuncture</b> can help smokers in the same way it has helped addicts and alcoholics quit their addictions. Just try it, even if you can not believe it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-36815361833154466762010-11-05T19:04:00.011+08:002010-11-06T09:36:10.347+08:00Facial acupunctureLooking beautiful inside and out is something we all want to achieve.

<br />
<b>facial <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-can-help-you-quit-smoking.html">acupuncture</a> </b>is a painless procedure that renews not only the face but the body also. This is because it can erase lines and eye bags making you look younger. At the same time it can also help remove blackheads and acne. <br />
<br />
For this to work, fine needles are placed on<b> acupuncture</b> points on the eyes, face and neck to stimulate the natural energies of the individual. As a result, this also improves the color of his face. <br />
<br />
Anyone can try facial <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-can-help-treat-migraines.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> because it is painless and has been shown to reverse signs of aging. However, if you are pregnant, suffer from colds or flu, have acute cold or an allergic reaction, it is best to wait until this happened. <br />
<br />
But before anyone can try facial <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-and-weight-loss.html"><b>acupuncture,</b> </a>they must first be evaluated by the acupuncturist. This person will evaluate your age, lifestyle and diet. If everything looks good, then you probably will average about 12 to 15 treatments. More could be done if your skin tends to sag, manifest jowls or have droopy eyes. <br />
<br />
facial <b>acupuncture</b> treatment should be performed twice a week for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. For those who can not do two sessions a week are eligible for treatment 1, which will last 90 minutes. <br />
<br />
After the regular sessions, it is advisable to return for follow-up treatment. It should be every 2 weeks for the next 2 months and then once a month later. <br />
<br />
Aside from needles, most clinics use herbs in the form of masks, poultices and moisturizers. Before use, check with your doctor to make sure that there is an allergic reaction to any medication you are taking. <br />
<br />
After the facial <b>acupuncture</b> treatment in the first place is usually a high luster to one's complexion which the Chinese say that increased Qi or blood flow to the face. Becomes more open, the wrinkles start to disappear and the skin appears more toned. <br />
<br />
In the treatment of 5 or 7, this becomes more apparent as her face looks more relaxed as if just returned from a vacation. <br />
<br />
The end result is that you will look and feel 5 to 15 years younger, but of course this depends on how well the patient has been taking care of themselves outside the confines of the clinic. <br />
<br />
Lastly, facial<b> acupuncture </b>can do for you. You can remove fine lines and reduce wrinkles, improve the color of his face in general and add shine to the skin, relax the tension in the face and furrows in the forehead, eyes light up and reduce dark circles and puffiness, improve muscle tone sagging skin, improve skin's natural glow and eyes, slow the aging process inside, promoting health and general well-being and relaxes and revitalizes the entire body. <br />

It is believed that chi is present in all living things, and flows through specific pathways in the body. Health problems arise when the flow of chi in the body is blocked. As a result, a person may feel persistent headaches, muscle pain, weakness, fever or in the worst case, it becomes more affected by serious health problems. <br />
<br />
A further explanation of <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/facial-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture </b></a><br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-can-help-you-quit-smoking.html">Acupuncture</a> </b>has its origins in ancient Chinese philosophy and practice. More than ten thousand years ago during the Stone Age of China, the stones were formed in the knives for medical use. After several years during the New Stone Age, these stones were finally on the needles for therapeutic purposes. These accounts are further evidenced by the stone needles found turned out to be the same type used during the New Stone Age. <br />
<br />
Basically, there are 14 routes throughout the body where chi flows continuously. These are called meridian points. To chi course through the body without barriers, there must be a balance between the forces of yin and yang. In ancient Chinese philosophy of yin and yang represent the forces of the universe, yin is feminine, while Yang is masculine. Everything in the universe is believed to contain both the yin and yang harmony. <br />
<br />
When yin and yang are unbalanced, chi can not flow freely through the body. Therefore, the meridian points through which chi courses need to be stimulated through. This is done by inserting hair-thin, disposable needles into specific areas in the body of a person to induce the body harmony and bring about healing. <br />
<br />
A trained and certified acupuncturist will be able to carry out a good therapy session for the patient. Training for Acupuncturists are given so they can get their licenses. The poor professional can not be competent enough to practice and could end up jeopardizing the results of the procedure. Today, it is advisable to check the credentials of a professional to ensure an<b> <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-can-help-treat-migraines.html">acupuncture</a> </b>treatment safe and effective. <br />
<br />
What Does this ancient method <br />
<br />
One of the main effects of<b> acupuncture </b>on the body is relaxation. Stress is often identified as the main precursor of a series of physical ailments. There are specific points throughout the body that directs the flow of harmony and relaxation, and when it comes to enthusiasm, the patient becomes more comfortable. <br />
<br />
Another positive effect of this alternative therapy increases pain control. During a session, the patient will usually feel very minimal pain as the thin needles are inserted gradually. However, the needles are deliberately placed at different depths, depending on the patient's health needs. When the needles reach the correct depth, the patient will feel more pain, yet the procedure is not necessarily painful. <br />
<br />
It is also recommended for relief from the fatigue of chemotherapy and the nausea associated with chemotherapy. It has also been found to be very effective for back pain, headaches, menstrual cramps, and pain as a driver for patients after undergoing surgery. <br />
<br />
Variations of conventional <b>acupuncture </b><br />
<br />
Auriculotherapy or ear <b>acupuncture</b> is one of the variations of <b>conventional acupuncture</b>. In this practice, it is believed that the ear provides a map of all major organs. A specific area or point of the ear corresponds to an organ like the heart, kidneys or liver. Therefore, the needles are placed at specific points around the ear and the ear cartilage. <br />
<br />
Staplepuncture is a method used to quit smoking, where the staples are placed over a given period anywhere in the ear area to bring the stimulus. <br />
<br />

Its history originated in China over 2000 years and has developed in various ways. <br />
<br />
Some of the techniques of <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/relieving-effects-of-acupuncture.html">acupuncture</a> </b>do not even use needles. vibrating objects, ultrasound and even the fingers of the practitioner have taken some of the work for the person feel better. <br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>The history of acupuncture</i> is first discussed in an ancient Chinese medical text called the "Huang Di Nei Jing" or Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. <br />
<br />
But there have been a few who are skeptic as archaeologists have found a 5,000 year old mummy in the Alps with similar <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/very-acupuncture-revealed.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> points on the body. This gives some people the idea that was used even before the Chinese did but sine there is no written text to show that no one is certain and credit to this ancient practice goes back to the Chinese. <br />
<br />
In the sixth century, this knowledge was transferred to Japan. In the 17th century, a man by the name of Waichi Sugiyama wanted to make this procedure painless for the patient so he developed the insertion tube, a small cylindrical tube through which the needle is inserted. Believe it or not, this technique is still used today. <br />
<br />
But <b>acupuncture </b>only reached the U.S. in the early 80's with the establishment of a regulatory board called the National Commission for <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/facial-acupuncture.html">Acupuncture</a> </b>and Oriental Medicine. As a result, several schools have been built and those who want to become licensed acupuncturists are now able to practice their profession. <br />
<br />
Despite this, there was a lot of people still are not convinced of the positive effects of alternative forms of medicine. It was not until 1995 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration decided to classify <b>acupuncture </b>needles as medical instruments and assured the public that are safe and effective. <br />
<br />
To further promote <b>acupuncture, </b>the NIH or National Institute of Health in 1997, said that this technique is useful in treating various health conditions. These include ear, nose, throat, eyes, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological and muscular disorders. In some cases, <b>acupuncture</b> is able to avoid some of them happen. <br />
<br />
This was reinforced by the fact that the side effects of <b>acupuncture</b> are much smaller than that of conventional drugs that are being sold by pharmaceutical companies. <br />
<br />
So people can make use of <b>acupuncture,</b> another recommendation by the NIH is for U.S. companies to provide comprehensive coverage of certain conditions. If not quality, perhaps not cover part you should look for in your policy. <br />
<br />
But despite that, more research needs to be done for their effects on health related issues. Some examples of these include addictions, autism, chronic back pain, migraines and osteoarthritis of the knee. <br />
<br />
If you look at the history of <b>acupuncture</b>, not much has changed since the needle technique used back then is still used today. Although the various forms have been developed over the years, one thing for sure is that it works. <br />
<br />
For you to see how effective it is, you have to see a specialist is not alone to treat your condition, but also one is trained well.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-16064185250569322642010-11-05T19:03:00.012+08:002010-11-06T09:31:59.059+08:00Acupuncture is an example of Holistic Health Careholistic health, by definition, is being able to cure disease through the use of alternative media.

<br />
<b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-is-example-of-holistic.html">Acupuncture</a> </b>has been around for over 2000 years. It is only recently that this holistic form of health has come to the U.S.. Studies have shown that they can treat minor problems and prevent some from happening. <br />
<br />
The needles used in<b> <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/history-of-acupuncture.html">acupuncture</a></b> are very thin, but thicker than a human hair. This makes it smaller than those used hypodermic needles. <br />
<br />
Most patients who undergo <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/relieving-effects-of-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> does not feel any significant change after a session so that a few sessions are needed. Best of all, is painless for your body feels no pain afterwards. <br />
<br />
Several studies have been conducted on <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/very-acupuncture-revealed.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> and have produced positive results. For example, in the UK, 400 participants suffered from migraines said they felt better after 3 months of sessions. <br />
<br />
In the U.S.,<b> acupuncture </b>has also proved effective in helping to treat people with arthritis because the needles help the body fight chronic disease is much cheaper and more effective than conventional medicine. <br />
<br />
<b>Acupuncture </b>can do more to help treat patients with arthritis or migraine. Clinical trials have shown it can help obese people lose weight and suffering from insomnia. <br />
<br />
In some countries,<b> acupuncture</b> has been used even to replace chemical anesthesia before surgery, as there are some patients who are unable to tolerate regular anesthesia. <br />
<br />
Another area that<b> acupuncture </b>has proven effective is to help patients cope with their addictions such as alcohol, drugs and smoking. A study of smokers found that the average patient will reduce by half the number of cigarettes smoked after a single treatment. Imagine the potential after a few sessions! <br />
<br />
This has led to the creation of clinics around the country that <b>acupuncture </b>used only as a means of rehabilitation. <br />
<br />
Acupuncturists in the U.S. by from $ 75 to $ 150 per session. This is usually shorter in subsequent treatments. You will probably have to undergo treatment for 10 to 15 2 to 3 times per week, but this really depends on the patient's condition. <br />
<br />
Before going to one, you should check if this is covered by insurance. If not, maybe you should suggest to be included because it is much cheaper than having to undergo surgery. <br />
<br />
While there are risks if you decide to go to undergo <b>acupuncture</b>, these can be avoided, provided that it does is a licensed professional who ensures that the needles are sterilized before they are inserted into the body. <br />
<br />
These days, many people in the medical field have accepted the fact that alternative medicine as it can also help the patient so that someone can refer to when necessary. <br />

As you read on, learn what is worth believing. <br />
<br />
The first myth is that <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-is-example-of-holistic.html"><b>acupuncture </b></a>is painful. This is not true because those who have attempted to argue that only experienced a flat tire, while others felt nothing at all. No tissue damage when the needle enters the skin or pulled out and only in very rare cases there are traces of bruises. <br />
<br />
The second myth is that you can get hepatitis or AIDS from <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/history-of-acupuncture.html">acupuncture</a>.</b> This is true only if the needles are not sterilized. In the U.S., this will never happen because acupuncturists are required to use disposable needles which are not at risk of these diseases. <br />
<br />
Third, <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/relieving-effects-of-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> is used to treat pain. This is only a half truth because this holistic technique has been shown to do other things like letting a person's addiction, lose weight and prevent certain diseases. <br />
<br />
Fourth, there are some who think that Asians are the only ones who can practice<b> acupuncture</b>. Since 1982, there are 50 schools across the country that teach students about this technique and become licensed acupuncturists. <br />
<br />
This means that anyone wanting to learn about this ancient practice can do so and help treat patients. Just to give an idea, there are at least 3,000 acupuncturists now working in the U.S.. <br />
<br />
Fifthly, doctors do not believe in the potential of alternative medicine. This is not true because there are more doctors these days that are open to the idea that there are other ways to help patients aside from conventional medicine. In fact, some even recommend an acupuncturist if they know what they have done is not effective. <br />
<br />
Another myth is that all patients undergo the four needle technique. This is not true and is only used when the specialist believes that the patient's energy moves almost as a last resort. <br />
<br />
The seventh myth is that it is better for a doctor to perform <b>acupuncture</b>. This is incorrect because the training is very different from being taught in medical school. Students who have an acupuncturist license train for 3,000 hours before being allowed to practice their profession. Thus, from an acupuncturist and a doctor, you should go with someone who has learned about this much longer. <br />
<br />
The eighth myth is that <b>acupuncture</b> is only used in third world countries. This is not true because this technique originated in China over 2000 years and it has spread to developed nations in Asia such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. <br />
<br />
Here at home,<b> acupuncture</b> has been practiced for more than two decades and is legal in 30 states. In fact 22 of them, license professionals after graduation, once they pass the state board examination. <br />
<br />
Although <b>acupuncture</b> has been around for a very long time, there is still a need for this type of comprehensive health care which is why it is taught in schools and in use today. It is painless and profitable and a large number of studies have shown that it is effective in the treatment of various diseases and prevention of some of them.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-35031893269077346092010-11-05T19:03:00.007+08:002010-11-05T19:03:35.682+08:00Things you should know about acupuncture <br />
<br />
Acupuncture has been practiced for hundreds of years. To learn more about this practice, here are some things you should know. <br />
<br />
First, acupuncture is a holistic health technique that involves inserting needles into specific body points. There have been studies and has been shown that treatment of ear, nose, throat, eyes, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological and muscular disorders. <br />
<br />
The needles used in acupuncture are very small and you'll probably feel a slight contraction when the needle going in. They carefully inserted or ¼ inch deep and will stay there 45 minutes to an hour depending on the condition the patient. <br />
<br />
If inserted correctly, you should feel some cramping, distention, tingling or electric which means that the treatment is working. <br />
<br />
Acupuncture needles especially in the U.S. are clean, and needed to be disposable. This prevents any possibility of going for treatment will be contaminated by a contagious disease such as hepatitis or HIV. <br />
<br />
Since this has been practiced for over 2000 years, various styles of acupuncture have been developed. Therefore, before deciding to go to a meeting, you should know what technique is used so they can explain what happens. <br />
<br />
In searching for an acupuncturist, you should also ask where they got their training, how long they have been in practice and most importantly, what the specialist has had experience in treating the condition you are experiencing. <br />
<br />
It should also be able to present his credentials as where he graduated and your state license board. If you live in a state that does not require a license, make sure you have something to show that certifies that they can exercise their profession as a document of the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncturists. <br />
<br />
The duration of treatment varies depending on the nature of your problem. Some are easy to fix compared to others, especially if it is something long term. For example, alcoholics and drug addicts can leave their vices after 3 or 4 months, while those who suffer from a disease like autism will take years and there is no known cure for this disease. <br />
<br />
Before the needles are inserted, needs to undergo a physical examination and answer some questions. There are risks even though it is a painless procedure because the needle might hit something vital inside but if the specialist is good, then there is nothing to worry about. <br />
<br />
You may notice a spot of blood when the needles fall off. But if you're concerned, talk to your acupuncturist so he or she can prescribe something. <br />
<br />
Some patients experience immediate relief after the first session, but others do not experience anything at all. This is the reason why a meeting should average 12 to 15 times at least 2 to 3 times a week. <br />
<br />
If acupuncture works for you, then all you need are follow-up sessions. This can be done twice every two weeks or monthly. It's really up to you. But do not forget to also see your doctor so he or she can monitor the progress of your condition.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-15531384609144337062010-11-05T19:02:00.007+08:002010-11-06T09:29:37.729+08:00The effectiveness of acupunctureEach time you feel pain and discomfort, I usually reach for your pain relief.

<br />

Better known as traditonal Chinese medical technique,<a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-is-example-of-holistic.html"> <b>acupuncture </b></a>is seen as a method of homeopathic treatment. While alternative medicine raises a lot of eyebrows for Scientific stability, which deserve attention before being dismissed as a quack cure. <br />
<br />
Basic Procedure <br />
<br />
Basically, the needles are inserted into the skin, each corresponding to one of the many pressure points throughout the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, by inserting a needle into the pressure point, an acupuncturist can manipulate the flow of chi or life force, relieving pain and gradually the patient's treatment. While most would say that the chi thing all a bunch of nonsense, science has suggested that with the needles inserted, the body's natural painkillers called endorphins are released, helping to relieve pain. <br />
<br />
Instruments <br />
<br />
available modern acupuncturists today use stainless steel fine needles that are 0.007 to 0.020 inches in diameter that are sterilized with ethylene oxide or autoclave. Since they are thinner so that the hypodermic needle was stuck by these needles are relatively painless. The upper third of the needle is covered with a bronze wire or heavy plastic so that the needle more resistant and easier to handle. The length of the needle and to what extent is it all depends on your style of<b> acupuncture</b> and<b> acupuncture</b> practice. <br />
<br />
Treatment Example <br />
<br />
If a patient has a headache, he or she is diagnosed and treated by stimulating the sensitive points located in the webbing between the thumbs and palms. In<b> acupuncture theory,</b> these points are connected to the face and head and can be used to treat headaches and other ailments which they participate. The needles are then carefully inserted into the skin until the patient feels a sharp pain, usually accompanied by a slight involuntary movement of the area. During this treatment, a number of things can happen. <br />
<br />
- The sensitivity to pain where the needles are inserted. <br />
<br />
- A hint of nausea during treatment in case of severe headaches. <br />
<br />
- Almost immediate headache relief. <br />
<br />
Evolution <br />
<br />
As an ancient method of <b>acupuncture </b>has come to the modern era with the deployment of technology and the latest scientific findings. Electrical stimulation is now a common technique is combined with<b> acupuncture</b> to produce more effective results. In addition, acupuncturists, oriental technique combined with Western methods to further improve treatment. <br />
<br />
Professionals have finally realized that leaning towards one school of thought can not spread the progress unless they are willing to move forward, looking towards other horizons as well. <br />
<br />
The reactions and research <br />
<br />
Not everyone is impressed with the self-<b>acupuncture.</b> Most Western medical professionals have expressed doubt whether or indifference to the Eastern method, while others are frankly is driven down into the earth with brutal criticism and skepticism. However, recent research shows the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of <b>acupuncture, </b>and the more research needs to be done, has been shown to actually positively affect some but not all, forms of which are intended to cure ailments . <br />
<br />
Just as the doors open to a new era of<b> acupuncture,</b> give it a try when you feel the need for pain relief and you will not be disappointed. As the Chinese have used for many centuries, so it should.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-60716602862197263872010-11-05T19:02:00.006+08:002010-11-06T09:28:26.758+08:00The Do and Don'ts of acupunctureThere are things that patients need to consider before, during and after surgery. The same goes for those who undergo acupuncture because in order to increase the value of treatment to do and what not to do that patients must follow. <br />
<br />
First, you should not eat a large meal before or after treatment. <br />
<br />
You should also avoid excessive exercise, participation in sexual activity or drinking 6 hours before and after treatment. <br />
<br />
From <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/do-and-donts-of-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> session lasts 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on how often you have to go to the clinic, it is best to arrange your schedule so you have time to rest. <br />
<br />
More likely is that consultation with a doctor before your visit to <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/effectiveness-of-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b>.</a> If given some prescription drugs, do not forget to take them. <br />
<br />
You will not feel any improvement after only one or two visits with the acupuncturist. Anyway, you should write this so you can return to<b> <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/eight-myths-about-acupuncture.html">acupuncture</a> </b>on your next visit and tell how you felt during the previous session. Such comments that the specialist knows what has to be modified in the future to help with your problem. <br />
<br />
<b>Acupuncture</b> may give you some herbs to take as part of their treatment. Since I do not know if having them have side effects with the medication you are taking, you should first consult your doctor about the safe use both. <br />
<br />
Pregnant women are advised not to undergo <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-is-example-of-holistic.html">acupuncture </a>treatment.</b> However, they can participate in that once the baby is born. <br />
<br />
The outcome of treatment of <b>acupuncture specialist </b>will also depend on him to perform. We must take into account their years of experience and skill so that they can make the correct diagnosis, finding the <b>acupuncture</b> points on the body, the angle at which the needles are inserted and techniques that we know as there are different types<b> acupuncture.</b> <br />
<br />
This leads us to ask how to find an acupuncturist skill. To make this work, we have to ask our doctor if you can refer to anyone. It would not hurt to do some research online also. After all, there are about 3,000 acupuncturists throughout the country so do not be so hard to find one. <br />
<br />
Before deciding to have a session with them, talk with the acupuncturist to know their credentials. This will also give the opportunity to find out how much charge as it may be from $ 45 to over $ 100 per session. <br />
<br />
You can probably get the name and contact number of a previous client so you can make this person how everything went. Remember, if it works for you, do not be afraid to find someone else who can do a better job. <br />
<br />
The most important thing to do during the session is to relax. If you feel an itch or something, tell the acupuncturist. The same applies if you are nervous or feel a burning sensation so the specialist will carry out the needles. <br />
<br />
Now that you know what to do and what not to do <b>acupuncture, </b>you should ask whether this form of treatment is right for you. If conventional medicine does not work, it would not hurt to see how things turn out.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-91913051719883344302010-11-05T19:01:00.007+08:002010-11-06T09:27:06.867+08:00Acupuncture for effective weight lossIn a generation when physical fitness is the subject of greater attention, people are always looking for the most new and more effective for weight loss. <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-for-effective-weight-loss.html"><b>Acupuncture,</b></a> the insertion method of fine needles, filiform at given points in the body of a person, has proved an effective method for losing weight. <br />
<br />
Not many people may find the idea of being introduced by needle very comforting in their quest for weight control. However, this ancient Chinese alternative treatment aims to provide a control mechanism, allowing the patient to manage hunger cravings most successful in the long term. <br />
<br />
The Truth About <b>Weight Loss <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/do-and-donts-of-acupuncture.html">Acupuncture </a></b><br />
<br />
We have found that weight gain is directly related to the emotions. Other than physical hunger, people reach a large bar of chocolate or a big plate of burgers and fries because of the feeling of comfort from food and eating. Often, excessive weight gain is an emotional, rather than a merely physical. You may not realize it, but they tend to take more food when you're stressed, angry or depressed. <br />
<br />
In acupuncture, there are specific points of the body being white hair like needles. These points are linked to certain areas of the body and stimulating these points, the patient will have a greater sense of inner balance. As these points are inserted by needles, certain hormones are released throughout the body. These substances work by helping to control hunger and efficiently control the urge to overeat. <br />
<br />
How can <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/effectiveness-of-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> induce weight loss <br />
<br />
Most acupuncturists will focus on the points behind the ear when it comes to promoting weight loss. When these points behind the ear are stimulated, endorphins are released in large doses. Endorphins are called hormones to feel good, and they also often referred to as natural pain relievers and fever. The release of endorphins is what makes you feel better after an increase in physical activity level, as in the case of a good workout. <br />
<br />
These compounds allow the patient's body better experience of relaxation and relieve stress considerably. There is a higher possibility of weight loss increases when the patient has already achieved the emotional well being. Endorphins are also released when the body is experiencing low levels of bodily pain, so his nickname as a natural painkiller. <br />
<br />
<b>Acupuncture</b> patients typically have little or no pain at all, but most of the points are located near nerve endings and muscle tissue. Because the needles are inserted into the body, signals are sent to the brain thus promoting the release of endorphins by the pituitary gland. <br />
<br />
There are other points on the body that serve as gateways to better weight control. One of these locations promotes a decrease in appetite of a person, while another has the ability to reduce water retention in the body. <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/eight-myths-about-acupuncture.html"><b>Acupuncture</b></a> may opt for a multi-objective approach, based on patient needs. <br />
<br />
Consult a professional acupuncturist <br />
<br />
There are several <b>acupuncture</b> practitioners in existence today, offering a wide variety of services. If you are considering this treatment is to control weight, be sure to settle for nothing less than an acupuncturist trained and professional. A poorly trained acupuncturist may not be able to identify the specific meridian points and worse, may cause unnecessary pain and bodily discomfort. <br />
<br />
Moreover, your acupuncturist may require an herbal supplement for treatment, to encourage longer-term effect. Your session need not be maintained for an extended period, however, may be required to visit your acupuncturist during the course of the session. <br />
<br />

<br />
Before this person does something, you first have to answer some questions. Then you will be given a physical examination to check the pulse and observing the shape, color and coating of the tongue. Other things to check is the color and texture of the skin and its position, since it will give clues about your health. <br />
<br />
Only then is said to lie on a padded examination table and the needles are inserted into the skin. The difference with this type of needle turn and shake every time you insert more in the body. <br />
<br />
You can not feel anything and if you do, just be a twitch that soon goes away. Once they are in place, it will stay there for 15 to 60 minutes can make you feel very relaxed and sleepy that you can even fall asleep. Once the session is complete, the needles are removed and will be on your way. <br />
<br />
In some cases,<b> <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-for-effective-weight-loss.html">acupuncture</a></b> is most effective when the needles are heated first. This technique is known as "moxibustion." Here, the acupuncturist lights a small bunch of dried herb called moxa or mugwort and remains above the needles. The herb, which burns slowly and gives a bit of smoke and a pleasant smell, like incense, never directly touch your body. <br />
<br />
Another variation is electrical <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/do-and-donts-of-acupuncture.html">acupuncture</a>.</b> In this case, the electrical cables are connected to the needles and a weak current runs through it can cause little or no feeling at all. <br />
<br />
It is also possible that herbal medicines will also be prescribed by the acupuncturist for successful treatment. <br />
<br />
In searching for an acupuncturist, make sure that person is licensed. Before he or she can get one, they must complete four years of training in an approved college of oriental medicine. In California, a governing body that gives the person the title is the <i>California Acupuncture Committee</i>. <br />
<br />
If they get it from another organization, a copy of their license must always be clearly indicated in the doctor's office. An example is the National Certification Commission for <b>Acupuncture </b>and Oriental Medicine. <br />
<br />
When choosing an acupuncturist, there are some things you should ask in addition to their credentials. You should know what styles of <b>acupuncture</b> used, as there are some techniques that use needles to treat a patient. <br />
<br />
Although no studies showing that one technique is better than the other, some patients feel more comfortable with a guy on the other. <br />
<br />
Another question you should ask and discuss further is the duration of treatment. Patients who are suffering from a chronic illness should be treated for a period of months before improvements can be seen. This will help you plan your schedule since you need to go to the clinic 2 to 3 times per week. <br />
<br />
The acupuncturist just like a doctor can help you feel better.

<b><br />

<b>Acupuncture</b> in the Western world <br />
<br />
One of the most debated issues between East and West is the use of <b>acupuncture </b>as a means western medical treatment. Although this form of medicine has been used as an effective method for more than five thousand years in China, there is no concrete evidence of scientific research studies have proven the healing properties of <b>acupuncture. </b><br />

<br />
Unfortunately, standards of <b>acupuncture</b> have not been fully approved by the cause of many unregulated practices that still exist, such as the reuse of needles of the FDA. Furthermore, <b>acupuncture</b> certification today is mostly a sham, used to make money on desperate patients who have not benefited from western medical treatments. The National Council Against Health Fraud has even declared <b>acupuncture </b>as an unproven means of treatment whose concepts of healing are primitive and false. <br />
<br />
An attempt should be <br />
<br />
One of the things that Western science can agree on is that there are no proven harmful effects of <b>acupuncture.</b> Many doctors agree that the time a drug is not harmful to health, there is no reason not to use it if there are significant benefits. Most scientists said that is simply due to the lack of research that the therapeutic properties of <b>acupuncture </b>have not been tested. <br />
<br />
Although many forms Chinese medication remain debated concepts in Western society, there is growing interest in these medications and perhaps as the acceptance of the practice grows, so will the discoveries about its medicinal properties. <br />

An alternative medicine believed to have originated as far as 3000 BC in ancient China, this treatment is widely used for various medicinal and therapeutic purposes. It has been found also to successfully treat drug dependence and chronic smoking. <br />

However, <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/remedy-is-acupuncture-for-you.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> is an alternative procedure recommended, especially when conventional therapies have failed. The strategic insertion of needles into various body parts is intended to address the condition in a profound and emotional level. A smoker needs to free itself from the physiological and psychological addiction of smoking, thus necessitating a more comprehensive treatment. <br />
<br />
How do I stop Addiction <br />
<br />
The needle placement is usually located behind the ear, or ear cartilage. This is where the calming effect takes place, to curb the cravings of the patient for more cigarettes. People who have the habit of smoking are required to have the stick of nicotine more often when you feel stressed, bored or depressed. Needles are also often inserted in the hand and wrist to promote a more constant flow of bodily energy. The feeling of relaxation help a person think twice before lighting up again. <br />

This alternative medicine promotes better tolerance to pain and discomfort during smoking cessation. Withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include nausea, palpitations and dizziness. Often, these same conditions will promote a new individual tendencies smoking sooner rather than later. <br />
<br />
Nicotine is the addictive and toxic substance in a cigarette. This is the same substance that makes giving up a great challenge for most smokers. Nicotine you get from smoking adheres to the pleasure zones in the brain, making it difficult for you to stop. Without a steady flow of this substance, a smoker will tend to feel depressed and uncomfortable. <br />
<br />
People who have undergone <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-degrees.html">acupuncture</a> treatment</b> reported that they no longer find cigarettes as tempting or satisfying as. Often, smokers who leave a bad taste in the mouth that pushes them to quit their habit for once. Some even resort to eating candy or delete to remove taste terrible. <br />
<br />
According to medical experts, approximately 7 out of 10 smokers successfully kick their habit of smoking after 2 or 3 weeks. While others are not able to quit completely, these smokers may reduce cigarette consumption significantly. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-do-acupuncturists.html"><b>Acupuncture</b></a> Treatment Experts <br />
<br />
It is very essential for a patient to consult a qualified acupuncturist. A more personalized service will be provided by an expert, and advice added to the patient. Moreover, an acupuncturist may prescribe herbal supplements to help patients quit efforts. <br />
<br />
During treatment, filiform needles are inserted into specific points on the ear cartilage and the hands and wrists. Normal procedures take about 30 minutes. Council of <b>Acupuncture </b>can be used in combination with the ear and wrist locations of the needle. An acupuncturist can also use a mild electrical current to enhance the effect of the needles through the body. <br />
<br />
The biggest advantage of this ancient Oriental is the absence of side effects during and after treatment. Unlike smoking cessation medications and nicotine replacement therapy, <b>acupuncture</b> does not use chemicals manufactured. There is no risk of weight gain during treatment. In connection with helping a patient to stop smoking, you can reduce appetite, reducing food cravings. <br />

<br />
The first is called TCM based <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/remedy-is-acupuncture-for-you.html">acupuncture</a></b>. Then it uses eight principles of complementary opposites to create harmony in the body. These include yin / yang, internal, external surplus, / deficiency, hot / cold. <br />
<br />
Next is called French energetic <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-degrees.html">acupuncture</a></b>. This is often used by MD acupuncturists. meridian patterns are highlighted here especially the yin-yang pairs of primary meridians. <br />
<br />
Acupuncture is part of Korea and other physicians believe that the hands and feet have concentrations of qi, and that applying acupuncture needles to these areas is effective for the entire body. <br />
<br />
<b>Auricular <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-do-acupuncturists.html">acupuncture</a></b> also exists where it is believed that the ear is a microcosm of the body. This means that the <b>acupuncture needles</b> are placed at certain points in the ear so you can treat certain addiction disorders. <br />
<br />
Myofascially based <i>acupuncture</i> is often used by physical therapists as it involves feeling the meridian lines in search of tender points before applying needles as this is where abnormal energy flows. <br />
<br />
Japanese styles of <b>acupuncture</b> referred to as "meridian therapy," tend to put more emphasis on needling technique and feeling meridians in diagnosis. <br />
<br />
Electromagnetic energy pulses can also be used as the body produces small electric shocks, but that influence the function, growth and maturity of certain types of cells. By inserting needles into these areas, it stimulates and alters the neurotransmitters in the body so the patient feels better after treatment. This is also used for diagnosis and testing. <br />
<br />
There are other forms of <b>acupuncture</b> that uses no needles. For example, there sonopuncture using an ultrasound device that transmits sound waves to points on the body to treat a patient. Some doctors use a tuning fork or other vibration devices. <br />
<br />
Acupressure is another. In this case, the practitioner using their hands to relieve pain. This can be used on it sown or with other manual healing techniques. <br />
<br />
The number of treatments you need depends on the patient's condition. On average, this could be 10 to 5 treatments and 2 to 3 times per week. How much will it cost also varies, as it could be $ 40 to $ 150. Some insurance companies and HMOs now cover or partially so you should check whether this is included in your policy. <br />
<br />
Anyone can try<b> acupuncture</b> to relieve pain or prevent a decline, but many professionals see someone during pregnancy. But if you have already begun is generally safe to do so until the baby is born. <br />
<br />
Some acupuncturists may ask you to take in some herbs as part of treatment. Since you have no idea what to do, which is shown for the first time by his doctor to make sure this is safe because it may interact with medications you are taking causing side effects. <br />
<br />
What type of acupuncture should try? That depends on you. All of them are effective in treating this with your doctor and do some research to know what you're getting into. Each of these is painless to just relax and let the professional do the rest. <br />
<br />
Like conventional medicine, do not expect improvement overnight as this takes time so keep an open mind.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-11420647679286172792010-11-05T18:59:00.007+08:002010-11-06T08:20:30.211+08:00Acupuncture may help to finally manage their stress levelsToday's world can fill the very busy with a lot of stress. Without some way to eliminate this stress from your system, you are risking a lot of stress-related diseases. You may be suffering from insomnia or headaches or very serious heart disease. <br />
<br />
You could take anti-stress pills to help you relax, but, like me, you also may be concerned about the side effects of these pills can have. The good news is you can try <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-may-help-to-finally-manage.html"><b>acupuncture</b> </a>at least once to see if you can help manage stress. Certainly could not hurt to try <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/types-of-acupuncture.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> if all you're looking for stress relief. <br />
<br />
If you find that does not work for you, then you can easily just stop taking <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/remedy-is-acupuncture-for-you.html">acupuncture treatments</a>.</b> If it works, however, then you can say they've found a good treatment for stress that does not rely on hazardous chemicals and pills. <br />
<br />
How to stick needles in your body to help manage stress? <br />
<br />
In traditional Chinese medicine, most of the treatments depend on an understanding of balance in our body and internal organs. Diseases are sometimes develop shows that are caused by imbalances in our lifestyles and environment. Stress also affected by this imbalance. So when there is something wrong with your body, you typically have less capacity to cope with stress. You get more irritable and find it really hard to relax. <br />
<br />
By following these very fine needles beneath the surface of our skin,<a href="http://draft.blogger.com/goog_1047492189"> </a><b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-degrees.html">acupuncture stimulates</a> </b>nerves in the body. These nerves send signals to our brain and scientists believe that the brain then releases its natural painkillers in our system. This immediately causes a feeling of relaxation for many people. <br />
<br />
The needles may also help your body by stimulating circulation. With the circulation between the organs of the body improved, a lot of waste from the body can be cleaned properly. Their bodies also receive the full benefit of oxygen from your lungs, making their way into the cells of your body without any obstruction. This makes their bodies more healthy and I felt much better in the long run. <br />
<br />
You can think of a session with the acupuncturist as much as massage therapy. A good massage helps to have a very relaxing sleep that night and an acupuncturist can help you with your dream. You can immediately begin to feel sleepy as soon as the right nerves are stimulated by<b> acupuncture needles. </b><br />
<br />
You may be wondering what it would be able to relax, if you are suffering from the pain of needles attached to his body. What they do not realize is that due to the thinness of the needles, barely felt anything. As many people say it feels a sort of tingling in the hands. And that is actually a sign that the process is working, <br />
<br />
<b>Acupuncture</b> is a practice that helps you use your body's own ability to manage stress properly. This leaves you healthier, and more importantly, prevent any serious disease that may result from unbalanced lifestyles, stressful. <br />
<br />
It may not be something to replace regular trips to the doctor, but many potential benefits, <i>acupuncture may </i>be worth trying soon.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361413474155771826.post-69389378933989430872010-11-05T18:59:00.006+08:002010-11-06T08:17:48.470+08:00Finding a good school of acupunctureSince 1982, <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/acupuncture-may-help-to-finally-manage.html"><b>acupuncture</b></a> has found its way to the U.S.. There are currently 50 schools that teach and 3,000 licensed professionals across the country. Think you can be a licensed professional? Here are some things to help you find a good <b><a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/finding-good-school-of-acupuncture.html">acupuncture school</a>.</b> <br />
<br />
You should now that the 50 schools listed are accredited by the National Commission for <a href="http://acr7.blogspot.com/2010/11/types-of-acupuncture.html">Acupuncture</a> and Oriental Medicine. It is recognized by the Department of Education and some of these schools have a master's program. <br />
<br />
Most of these schools can be found online so you can give them a call and ask certain questions about the school. You can find out the cost of tuition, student-teacher ratio, if the school offers counseling services to students and alumni and if they have an extensive library which focuses on traditional Chinese medicine. <br />
<br />
Should there be a school near where you live, you should probably consider what they do not have to worry about room and board, as this is just an added cost to this long-term investment. <br />

Meridians are very close to the surface of the skin in certain areas and can be accessed by needles. Like plumbing, these tubes can be blocked or go in the opposite direction, causing health problems. Inserting needles into these points is the aim of helping to loosen the blocks and normalize the flow. <br />
