What is acupuncture?
According to the traditional Chinese medicine the acupuncture is applied if the life energy, the so-called Qi, is disturbed. And this happens then if an organ works only weakly or if we are injured. The irritation of certain acupuncture points (lie on guidelines, the so-called meridians) stimulates the energy flux and mobilize the endogenous regulatory system and therefore disturbances inside body can be removed or soothed. The needles release positive energies, luck hormones are secreted and these block the pains. Long-term studies prove that such chronic pains can be soothed at about 85 per cent of all acupuncture patients. Per meeting ten to at most 15 needles are put and these remain for about 15 to 20 minutes in the body. Already after few meetings a noticeable recovery adapts in the rule, after completion of the therapy the most patients altogether feel healthier and also more vigorous. The application of the acupuncture in the west has increased considerably within the last 20 years
Fields of application:
- For the increase of a physical and mental fitness at competitive athlets
- Pain illnesses: e.g. migraine, face neuralgias, neck and backache, tennis elbows, hip and knee joint pains, joint rheumatism illnesses of the breathing organs: e.g. cold diseases, hay fevers, besides-and frontal sinus inflammation, Bronchitis, Bronchialasthma
- Mental disturbances: e.g. sleeplessnesses, depression
- Addiction illnesses: e.g. drugs, alcohol and nicotine dependence, overweight
- Stomach intestines diseases: e.g. gastritis, diarrhea illnesses, cotiveness, irritable bowel syndrome
- Gynaecological illnesses: e.g. menstruation disturbances, pregnancy vomiting, birth relief, impotence with the man
- Illnesses of the sense organs: e.g. hardness of hearing, buzzing in the ears, dizziness, poor eyesight
- Skin diseases: e.g. herpes, acne, neurodermatitis
Effect:
As a rule, the first alleviation of the complaints appears within the first five treatments. Per meeting 10 to 15 needles are put which can stay in the body for about 15-30 minutes and can trigger the necessary impulses to the pain alleviation.
Variations:
Laser acupuncture:
The acupuncture points are stimulated by joint light. As in the case of the classic needle therapy 10-15 points are selected according to the principles of the acupuncture and each are irrediated for 20-30 seconds. In principle laser acupuncture is recommended at little children due to the pain liberty as well as also at particularly sensitive patients.
Moxibustion:
Stimulation of the acupuncture points by warmth.
Acupressure:
Stimulation of the acupuncture points by pressure with the finger or a pen, particularly suitably for children and also between the single acupuncture meetings, supporting the positive effect of the needle acupuncture.
Remark:
High-quality acupuncture needles are manufactured from a flexible steel which can be bent only a little and does not break. The thickness of the needles varies from 0.2-0.5 mm. The length of the needles is between 1 and 5 cm. The depth of the recess varies between some millimetres and 3.5 centimetres depending on acupuncture point. A feeling can appear like a mild electrification. At the choice of the needles you should pay attention on a high quality, hygiene and sterile packing.
Contrary to the fears of many patients the pain of the recess of an acupuncture needle is hardly noticeable because there are extremely thin needles in comparison with a syringe. Already children as of eight years can be treated with acupuncture.
