Acupuncture is a safe mode of treatment but should be used with trained hands.<\/p>\n<p>It involves the application of single-use sterilized needles on specific points of our body.\u00a0 There is an

It featured in the \u2018Yellow Emperors classic of internal medicines known as Huangdi Neijing around 100 BC.<\/p>\n<p>From the excavations in the tomb of Liu Sheng around 100 BCE, gold and silver needles were unearthed which might have been the earliest confirmation of the acupuncture practice. Another theory goes that the historical record of acupuncture was in Shih Chi written by a historian around 100 BC. It is thought that the text documented the medical practice prevalent at that time.<\/p>\n<p>The practice of acupuncture is believed to have been prevalent in the Neolithic Era as well using pointy headstones called Bian Shi. According to the historian\u2019s Lu Gwen Djen and Joseph Needham, there is enough evidence that acupuncture was a regular medical practice around 600 BC.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Principles\"><strong>Principles <\/strong><strong>of Acupuncture<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-model-in-front-of-a-acupuncture-signboard.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43345 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-model-in-front-of-a-acupuncture-signboard.jpg\" alt=\"acupuncture model in front of a acupuncture signboard\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-model-in-front-of-a-acupuncture-signboard.jpg 800w, https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-model-in-front-of-a-acupuncture-signboard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-model-in-front-of-a-acupuncture-signboard-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>The principles of acupuncture state that there is a<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/energy-anatomy-healing-mind-and-body-by-controlling-bodys-energy-flow\/\"><strong>flow of energy<\/strong><\/a><\/span> called Chi through the body of every living being. According to the Chinese traditional philosophy, Chi is responsible for the creation and sustenance of life. This energy inside our body flows through several channels known as meridians, which are responsible for the proper functioning of our organs. Each meridian corresponds to a specific organ. There are meridians for our heart, lungs, brain, kidney, urinary bladder, liver, reproductive organs, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>The acupuncture meridians have both positive and negative orientations called the Yang and Yin energies. These two are complementary and one cannot exist in the absence of the other. One is male and the other is female with energies of opposite nature radiating from them.<\/p>\n<p>Yin energies flow through hollow organs like the intestine and stomach. Yang flows through solid organs like the heart and liver. In a healthy person, the yin and yang are in dynamic equilibrium. The net energies of these opposite natures balance each other. In a\u00a0sick person, the energies get out of balance. Acupuncture is needed to control the meridians for the restoration of balance.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Method\"><strong>What is the Basic Method of Acupuncture?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-therapy-on-auricle-horizontal-very-close-up-photo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43346 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-therapy-on-auricle-horizontal-very-close-up-photo.jpg\" alt=\"acupuncture therapy on auricle, horizontal very close up photo\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-therapy-on-auricle-horizontal-very-close-up-photo.jpg 800w, https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-therapy-on-auricle-horizontal-very-close-up-photo-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/acupuncture-therapy-on-auricle-horizontal-very-close-up-photo-768x528.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>Very thin needles slightly thicker than a human hair are penetrated in the skin through the acupuncture points.

While the needles inserted in the hands and legs will cleanse the system, the needles on the face will improve blood flow and stimulate collagen production. The client is then asked to relax for thirty minutes, allowing the needles to do their job.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of this period, the needles are removed, following which the individual will feel slightly disoriented for a while (a result of the endorphin release in the body). Although the effect on the skin is evident from just one session, three more sessions can cause a definite improvement in skin condition.

However, often people who seek electroacupuncture worry about the risk of getting an electric shock or injuries from it. Fortunately, electroacupuncture uses an extremely small current to cause anything more than just a tingling sensation.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, needle insertion through the skin during <strong>electroacupuncture<\/strong> may carry a slight risk of injury or infection. Evidently, several investigations have shown that these risks of injury and infection are mostly seen when the treatment was carried out by an inexperienced or unqualified acupuncturist.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, be it traditional acupuncture or electroacupuncture, it must be performed by a qualified and licensed acupuncturist only to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Hence, it is highly advised to check if the practitioners havethe required qualification, authorization,and experience before undergoing the treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Besides this, Electroacupuncture is not safe for people with certain medical conditions especially those with a history of heart problems, seizures, stroke, or epilepsy.Patients with pacemakers must avoid the use of electroacupuncture as even a small-scale electric stimulation can cause disruption in the working of these devices, which are essential for regulating heart rate.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Which\"><strong>Which is Better Japanese or Chinese Acupuncture?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/acupuncture-is-effective-in-preventing-and-treating-various-health-conditions.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46404 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/acupuncture-is-effective-in-preventing-and-treating-various-health-conditions.jpg\" alt=\"acupuncture is effective in preventing and treating various health conditions\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/acupuncture-is-effective-in-preventing-and-treating-various-health-conditions.jpg 800w, https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/acupuncture-is-effective-in-preventing-and-treating-various-health-conditions-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/acupuncture-is-effective-in-preventing-and-treating-various-health-conditions-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/stg-httpsdrpremcom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/acupuncture-is-effective-in-preventing-and-treating-various-health-conditions-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>Both Japanese acupuncture and Chinese acupuncture are effective in preventing and treating various health conditions. The difference between them is the use of needles. Japanese acupuncture uses finer and sharper needles that are inserted only at the surface level; whereas, Chinese acupuncture uses thicker and stronger needles that are inserted deeper compared to the Japanese technique.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, Japanese acupuncture is a comparatively gentle technique that uses more palpation and causes little or no pain.However, both techniques are used for helping patients to restore and improve their health, overallwell-being, and longevity.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acupuncture is an alternative form of medicine and is an essential element of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
