Acupuncture and Its Benefits

ACUPUNCTURE

What comes into your mind when you heard the word acupuncture?

Is it a needle puncturing your skin? Or a type of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

If you are thinking that, you are right. Acupuncture is one of the Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments. Acupuncture also involves the insertion of very thin needles into your skin in a strategic way. But there is more than that and in this article, we will talk about acupuncture and its benefits.

Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM explains Acupuncture as a way of balancing the energy flow or life force of the body known as Chi or Qi (Chee). The Chi or Qi (Chee) is believed to flow through the body meridians.

By the insertion of the needles into the specific points of the body meridian, the acupuncturists believe that the body energy flow will re-balance.

In contrast to many Western Practitioners point of view, the insertion of needles into the meridian points stimulate and boost the body’s natural painkillers.
