  5. Acupuncture: A Traditional Medical Practice • Chinese traditional medical practices explain the results of acupuncture as a harmonious balance of extremes “yang” and “yin” of the life force which is known as “qi.” This illness is caused by the imbalance of the forces. These energies and meridians flows are accessible through more than 300 acupuncture points in the human body. Inserting the needles into these points with suitable combinations which can bring the flow of energy back to the proper balance. There is no scientific proof that acupuncture points exist but many studies suggest that this practice is effective for some conditions. Some of the experts have used the science behind the nervous system to explain acupuncture. The points of the acupuncture covered those areas where muscles, nerves, and connective tissues can be motivated. This motivation will increase the flow of blood, while at the same time triggering the activity of the natural painkillers of the body. • Because of the invasive nature of acupuncture, it is difficult to set up the investigation using the scientific control. Some of the studies have claimed that acupuncture provides the same benefits as placebo which is a clinical practice, but others have claimed that there are many benefits of acupuncture.

Acupuncture: Ways to Improve Health • Reducing Migraines and Headaches • According to a research, acupuncture is a valuable but non-pharmacological tool in the patients with regular chronic tension-type headaches. After multiple clinical trials, the researcher found out that this treatment is effective for headaches and migraine. • Improves Arthritis Pain, Chronic Pain, and Neck Pain • Acupuncture proves to be effective against chronic back pain. In Berlin, many patients with chronic back pain are treated with acupuncture and a significant difference in pain is reported after eight weeks of treatments in the patients. • Insomnia Treatment • A report from Chinese Medicine University shows a beneficial effect of acupuncture in reducing the symptoms of insomnia, compared with no treatment. The overall analysis founds out that patients who are taking herbal treatments of medications to help with the sleep showed much better effects after taking acupuncture treatment.

  7. Acupuncture: Ways to Improve Health • Chemotherapy Recovery • According to many studies, acupuncture can help in boosting immunity and speeding up the recovery process after chemotherapy. It is also by a researcher that the treatment of acupuncture improves the platelet count and immunity. • Prevent Cognitive Decline • Studies on the topic also claimed that acupuncture is effective at reducing Parkinson’s disease. Studies also suggest that acupuncture can also relieve the symptoms of age-related cognitive decline as it creates a neural response in certain areas of the brain such as the thalamus, and putamen. • Labor & Pregnancy • Many of the doctors are now suggesting acupuncture as a treatment to reduce the pain of labor and pregnancy, balance hormones, and reduce stress. It is considered to be a safe treatment in pregnancy because it reduces emotional strain and physical symptoms experienced by mother.

Benefits of Acupuncture • Lower Chronic Pain • According to the latest research on the topic, acupuncture can reduce the pain up to 17% when it is used for a number of different types of pain, but primarily focused back pain that may result from poor sleeping habits, physical stress, old injuries, pregnancy, and tightness of muscles. • Arthritis Treatment • Acupuncture provides different options for reducing the debilitating and painful effects of arthritis. Inserting the needles in the meridians the nerve ends communicate with the brain and tells it to feel full or aching. This process will release the endorphins, which is normally released during stress and to block the receptors of pain. • Reduce Migraine Pain • Some past studies have shown that the patients who are treated with acupuncture had a greater chance of showing a reduction in the pain rather than the modern medical treatment. • Vomiting and Nausea • To reduce vomiting and nausea there are certain acupuncture pressure points near the wrist and the underside of the forearm. Acupuncture is also effective in reducing nausea and vomiting that is caused by chemotherapy treatment.
