Chinese Acupuncture
Acupuncture will always be mentioned whenever Chinese natural remedies are talked about.
It is believed that when combined with acupuncture, herbal remedies can work at their best. It is because acupuncture facilitates absorption of essences from the herbs. Acupuncture is a form of holistic therapy that employs the insertion of fine needles through the skin to the acupressure points. It is based on the principle that the body has meridians through which life energy runs.
Balance should be maintained so that the flow of energy is not disrupted. With acupressure, that flow is facilitated, and therefore balance is restored. Acupuncture is generally used to treat musculoskeletal disorders, emotional stress, allergies, digestive disorders, infertility, and a host of other illnesses.
History Cupping is a method found in ancient records dating back 3500 years. It was used by the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, United Kingdom and it is still used today by many complimentary medicine practitioners. The Chinese have been doing this since ancient times by using heat inside glass or bamboo cups to create localized pressure by a partial vacuum.
