Acupuncture & Acupressure & Chinese Herbs

What is Acupuncture/ Acupressure?

Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the world. Originating in China more than 5,000 years ago, acupuncture began to become better known in the United States in 1971, when New York Times reporter James Reston wrote about how doctors in China used needles to ease his pain after surgery.

The term acupuncture describes a family of procedures involving stimulation of anatomical points on the body by a variety of techniques. American practices of acupuncture incorporate medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries. The acupuncture technique that has been most studied scientifically involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles that are manipulated by the hands Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin. People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no pain as the needles are inserted. Some people are energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed.

Acupuncture has been a major part of primary healthcare in China for the last 5,000 years. It is used extensively for a variety of medical purposes ranging from the prevention and treatment of disease, to relieving pain and anesthetizing patients for surgery. As in many Oriental medicine practices, the emphasis of acupuncture is on prevention. In traditional Chinese medicine, the highest form of acupuncture was given to enable you to live a long, healthy life.

Acupressure is the use of the hands to stimulate acupuncture points that create healing and wellness. It is gentile and often can create beneficial changes in your health without the use of needles.
