Acupuncture Explained - Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture
Chinese medicine was developed thousands of years ago in the Far East and acupuncture was seen as a prominent branch of this ancient tradition. The Chinese call it Zhue Jiao and it translates as "needle heat". The needle regulates "Qi"; an inner force, which is responsible for the health of the body and with acupuncture controlling Qi energy the health of a person, can be improved by the release of stress. Pathways of Qi energy should flow freely in a healthy person and any symptoms of illness will indicate any barriers to this movement.

An Honest Look At Chinese Traditional Medicine.
Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM is a comprehensive holistic medical approach that dates back for thousands of years. The practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine is premised on Taoism and its philosophy. It takes its approach from aspects of nature and applies it to the human body in treating illness and disease. Western-based medicine on the other hand treats illnesses according to the symptoms they manifest.
The whole idea of healing in Chinese Traditional Medicine is founded on the idea that just as in nature the body needs to be in harmony with its self to be healthy. Therefore there are certain polarities in the body that must be in balance to maintain health. Signs of disharmony prevail as illness, ailments and disease. Chinese Traditional Medicine uses the principals of yin and yang, which are negative and positive polarities, Blood Jing, which is bodily fluids, the five elements, which are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water (with the elements are seasons that correspond to them). Emotions, Shen, which is one?s spiritual essence in being, Zang Fu Theory of Body Organs, which is the physical organs and their functions and interactions in the body, Meridians, which are interconnective channels to which one?s life fore or Qi flows through and the Three Jiao?s all play a part in healing an imbalance.
A person is treated with various practices to restore a balanced healthy body. Disharmony and unbalance is believed to be the direct result of blockages in various strategic points along the Meridians. These points are treated with Acupuncture, Moxibustion, and Cupping. Acupuncture is the use of needles that are inserted into various points along the meridians and manipulated to release the Qi that is blocked in those areas. Moxibustion is the use of a Mugwart cigar that is heated and place on the needles to stimulate them. Cupping involves heating glasses and placing them on various points to create suction for healing. Massage and bodily manipulation may also be used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In addition to these techniques Herbs that correspond with the various aspects of the condition including the organ, its element and polarity are given to be taken internally as medicine.
I have been treated for various conditions by Traditional Chinese Medical Practitioners that western medicine only gave me pills for. With TCM you have to be willing to go over a period of time, which I did and take some bitter herbal concoctions as part of the healing process. I have to admit that I preferred them to put my herbs in capsules, which they did for me. I am about 85 to 90 percent improved since my last session, which was in August 2006. I was being treated for arthritis in my spine, which debilitated me. When I went I could not walk and had to take arthritis medicine around the clock. Now I only have flair ups in bad weather to which I take one pill and can manage.
