Acupuncture is Powerful Medicine!
Acupuncture is Powerful Medicine which aids in strengthening the immune system and serves to prevent disease and control pain. It increases both the ability to function and quality of people's lives. Acupuncture is a well developed whole health care system based on natural energetic laws. Dating back to over 3,000 years as a primary health care system in China, acupuncture is widespread in Asia, Europe and now the US.
What is the Function of Acupuncture?
While the effect of acupuncture is symptom relief, it is far more than this. With its origins in Taoism, acupuncture has served over the centuries to intercede and re-attune a person to his source. Those who receive acupuncture often not only heal psychically, but experience new and profound states of peace clarity, and harmony through treatment which often has lasting impact.
How Effective is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is highly effective only as a preventative medicine, but as a drug free treatment of signs and symptoms.
Studies indicate that acupuncture influences the central and peripheral nervous system. Evidence shows it released endorphins from the brain which make acupuncture particularly effective in pain control.
Among a host of factors, acupuncture affects sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in the blood, the functioning of the gastrointestinal system and the activity of the endocrine system.
Acupuncture works with the body, strengthening and balancing energy. It improves circulation and allows the body to heal itself more quickly and more completely.

Is Western Medicine incorporating Acupuncture into its system? |
|
| |
Western medical doctors have developed great interest in incorporating acupuncture, particularly as they have noticed its impact and success--with addictions, AIDS, sports injuries, trauma, and pain relief.
|
|
| |
How Does Acupuncture Work? |
|
| |
As a system of medicine, it uses natural laws and energetic principles rooted in Taoism with the application of needles, energy, and pressure to specific points on the body. Each point provides a specific function in the body in regulating the free flow of vital energy from health and well-being. Acupuncture accesses the source of life itself.
|
|
| |
The acupuncturist opens or closes specific "gates" or points grouped along certain lines of energy flow called meridians, which go deep into the body. Disease, for example, is prevented or treated by stimulating or reducing the flow of vital energy or "chi" through specific points in the body. Vital energy then is strengthened or sedated, monitored, and balanced to achieve the desired result.
|
|
| |
Western doctors are discovering medications can suppress or stimulate electrical impulses within the body but they cannot regulate it in the way in which acupuncture can.

Oriental Diagnosis and Examination |
|
| |
Trained Oriental Medicine practitioners use a highly developed system of corollaries to diagnose, treat, and test the immediate success of treatment.
|
|
| |
On your first visit most acupuncturists will listen carefully to you in an extensive interview which provides vital clues to an overall pattern of health of disease. The acupuncturist will feel the subtle variations in the pulses in the wrist to determine a wealth of information about how the body is functioning. Sound of voice, the condition of the tongue, smell, overall appearance of face, and skin, emotions--all are important indicators of your condition. Particular patterns are discerned to determine which specific points on the body to use.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture |

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, sometimes referred to as acupuncture face-lift, helps to improve muscle tone and dermal contraction. Facial Rejuvenation has been shown to increase collagen production and aids in its dispersal, thus helping to firm the skin and fill out wrinkles. Bags and sagging around the eyes, face and neck can be significantly reduced and toned up. Acupuncture can greatly affect the regulation of hormones in the body, conditions such as acne and overly dry skin can be quite improved. By increasing the circulation of blood, lymph, and Qi to the head, these treatments improve the complexion and often restore facial coloring and tightening of the pores. Habitual expression and stress lines can be greatly improved resulting in younger, calmer, and healthier looking skin.
