EASTERN ( Oriental ) MEDICINE & ACUPUNCTURE
more PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD turning to acupuncture The plain truth is that modern medicine cannot explain, or cure, all that ails us.For some, acupuncture can provide lasting relief from pain where the strongest painkillers have failed.
Oriental medicine/Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive system of health care with a continuous clinical history of over 3000 years. Oriental medicine includes acupuncture, Chinese herbology and bodywork, dietary therapy and exercise based on traditional Oriental medicine principles. These therapies work with the natural vital energy inherent within all living things to promote the body's ability to heal itself. This system of health care is used extensively by one-quarter of the world's population residing in Asia and is rapidly growing in popularity in the West.
The basic premise behind Chinese Medicine is the idea of harmony, the balance of yin and yang.
Is Acupuncture Painful? Acupuncture needles are very fine and flexible, about the diameter of a human hair. In most cases, insertion by a skilled practitioner is performed without discomfort. You may experience a sense of heaviness or electricity in the area of insertion. Most patients find the treatments very relaxing and many fall asleep during treatment. In some cases, your practitioner may also recommend herbs or dietary, exercise or lifestyle changes.
For people who doesn't like needles the treatment could be done with the optical laser fibre in skin contact which is as effective as the insertion of the needles.In optical fiber mode, applications can be made either directly on the trauma and / or by distal action on trigger points, or acupuncture points,

What is Auricular Acupuncture and How Does it Work?
To try and explain it simply, Auricular (or Ear) Acupuncture is a specialized complementary therapy where acupuncture points on the outer ear are treated, using either needles or electro acupunctoscopes to help relieve many chronic complaints. There are as many as two hundred acupuncture points on the outer ear, each point named generally after areas of our anatomy, i.e. knees, hips, shoulders, liver, heart etc. The outer ear acts like a switchboard to the brain. Each acupoint on the ear, when treated, triggers electrical impulses, from the ear, via the brain, to the specific area of the body that is being treated. Therefore if someone had a painful knee, for example, by treating the 'knee' acupoint on the ear, it would help alleviate the pain.
Abdominal Acupuncture involves the shallow insertion of extra-fine needles making it a gentle and highly effective treatment. It is pain free so Abdominal acupuncture is primarily indicated for any patients who are weak, or who are particularly sensitive to acupuncture. This includes the very young and the elderly.
How Herbs are Prescribed
Stretching back over 2,500 years, Chinese herbalism is the oldest continually practiced medical profession in the world. Working on the same diagnostic basis as acupuncture, Chinese herbal ism works by re-establishing the natural balance and harmony within the body. A herbal prescription will include several herbs working together in combination to treat the person as a whole. It is this individual designing of prescriptions that increases the effectiveness of the treatment.
