Western Approach to Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment has been proven by science to manifest the following effects:
1. Physiological Analgesic: This pain-relieving effect proves to be sufficient against headaches, trigeminal neuralgia, arthritis pain, low back pain and other pain caused by soft tissue injury.
2. Hasten Motor Recovery from trauma or paralysis: Through Biofeedback mechanism, acupuncture treatment can stimulate the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord as well as stimulate the blood circulation and muscle cells to enhance the recovery of various paralysis or trauma.
3. Immune-enhancing effect: Immunology studies show that the levels of activity of leucocytosis, T cells, antibodies, interferon, and reticulo-endothelial systems have been enforced due to acupuncture treatment. These mechanisms could help the body against infection or relieve the allergic symptoms (hypersensitive of immune system).
4. Homeostatic Effect: The homeostasis is maintained by the balanced activity of the nervous, endocrine, respiration, blood circulation, digestive, excretion system, etc. Many diseases seriously derange these mechanisms and acupuncture is extremely helpful in re-establishing and maintaining their balance.
5. Recalibration of psychological and physio-logical functions Many people witness that acupuncture is effective in helping stop smoking or shake off excess body weight. Psychologically, Acupuncture works by decrease cravings for drugs, reduce withdrawal symptoms, relieve stress and tension, and help people calm and relax. Whereas physio-logically, acupuncture can help the body to achieve its ideal weight, which they were meant to have, delay biological aging and detoxify toxins that the body has been storing up.
6. The most effective healing modality with least complication Acupuncture unutterably is considered the safest healing modality when compared to conventional medicine. Acupuncture utilizes the body’s own energy to heal itself, therefore, there is nothing added, and nothing taken out. As a result, complications which often seen in drugs and surgery are extremely rare from acupuncture.
