ACUPUNCTURE
“Divine is the task of relieving pain”
Hippocrates
What is acupuncture?
The word comes from the Latin “acus”-‘needle’ and “puncture”-‘puncture’. It is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine that works with vital energy or Qi.
And that is exactly what it consists of, using needles at specific points on the meridians that run through the body to have an effect on Qi.
In addition, moxa, acupressure, suction cups or laser can be used in those points where a needle cannot be used, such as in the case of points with a lot of pain or points that are prohibited from puncture, such as Ren Mai 8, point which is located above the navel.
TCM understands a disease as an imbalance between yin and yang or Qi stagnation, where energy does not flow properly through the body’s meridians. But above all it is based on the prevention of disease and preserving health by eating, breathing and resting well.
The diagnosis is based, in addition to the symptoms, on the pulse, the tongue and the Shu and Mu diagnostic points. Based on this, an energy imbalance is diagnosed and some points will be used. This is always done when seeing a patient each time since the information changes constantly.
The practice and theoretical foundations of acupuncture today are first recorded in the book “Huangdi Neijing”, the book of the Yellow Emperor.
It is a well-known type of therapy or pseudoscience for the treatment of pain, but it can also treat other pathologies and clinical symptoms due to energy imbalances, such as RAO or lung pathologies, digestive disorders, dermatitis, otitis, reproductive disorders, among others…
