Acupuncture
Acupuncture is among the oldest healing
practices in the world. Part of
Traditional Chinese Medicine,
Acupuncture is based on the concept,
that disease results from a disruption
in the flow of Qi, and imbalance in the
forces of Yin and Yang (more).
Acupuncture is the stimulation of
specific points on the body by a variety
of techniques, including the insertion
of thin metal needles though the skin.
It is intended to remove blockages in
the flow of Qi and restore and maintain
health. In the United States
acupuncture is considered part of
complementary and alternative medicine.
Complementary medicine is used together
with conventional medicine. The World
Health Organization released a list of
43 types of pathologies which can be
effectively treated with acupuncture. As
a result, there are now people trained
in both Traditional Chinese, as well as
modern Western Medical arts, as
Marianne, who have made commendable
contributions to the treatment of
hepatitis, high blood pressure, adjunct
to cancer treatment, and other diseases
that are so far difficult to treat.
