Insights On Acupuncture And Chinese Medicine Professional Issues

By Deborah Reed


From the early days, people visited traditional healers or specialists for medical help. A popular method around the Middle East that still remains popular is TCH also called the traditional Chinese medicine. This method involves acupuncture, physical therapies, and tai chi. The techniques address mental, physical, and emotional health among other matters affecting your life. Consequently, acupuncture and Chinese medicine professional issues offer an ideal platform from which assistance on life-threatening issues are obtained.

These treatments rely on the belief and base that illnesses and disease occur when there is energy deficiency or difference in a body organ. When an organ suffers energy deficiency, its functionality is deprived. This is what causes ill-health in the organ. The organ is also subject to pain when there are energy deficiencies and differences within the organ. The techniques used to distribute energy are similar and this makes both techniques to be administered simultaneously.

Techniques such as acupressure, moxibustion, massage therapies, tuina, magnet therapy, gua shua, cupping and tai chi are used by these professionals when retaining the health of an individual or patient. According to these practices, energy is believed to follow certain routes referred to as meridians when it is needed by a certain organ. The same way a water pipe can be clogged or blocked, these meridians can also experience clogging or blockage.

In humans, the meridians may be blocked as a result of factors such as psychological, physical, or emotional injuries, poor nutrition, or stress. When the clogged materials inside a water pipe are taken out water flow is usually restored. This theory is, therefore, applied to the meridians to unblock any clogs and blockages to restore the natural and free energy flows in the body.

Needles are the main operational tools used in this case. Insertions are made on different locations believed to be clogged. This needles may be manipulated by the professional using hands or electrical methods. They may be as well left out for a period of time in order for the treatment to be effective. The insertions are not associated with causing discomforts. However, some few individuals claim to feel a slight pain during insertion.

These medications and therapies have been used to treat different conditions without causing pain or one undergoing a surgical process. Such conditions treated include back, joint, neck, dental and general body pain among others. Digestive, emotional, respiratory, skin, gynecological, muscular or skeletal and neurological conditions are also dealt away with by these treatments.

The advantages of the medications include not having to undergo surgeries when experiencing various problems. They are as well noninvasive and present none or little side effects when compared to surgeries that require one to take some time to recover and requirements to observe certain rules.

On the contrary, the materials used to administer treatment in TCM are referred to as supplements in other countries but not medicine. This lowers the effectiveness of the procedure on some individuals. No guarantee of sterilization or detoxification of needles used and this goes against FDA standardization
