With the new impetus that healthy lifestyles and alternative therapies have taken, there has been much talk about the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and especially one of its main therapies, Acupuncture.
Acupuncture is a practice that involves inserting thin metal needles through the skin in specific locations. But how does this therapy work? What is the use of these needles?
Various types of needles for acupuncture.
It starts directly from the idea that the human being is more than flesh and bones, the human being, like all beings that make up the existence, possess, within himself, an energy, a breath of life, what many they call the Qi and others take it as Soul. With this idea in mind, in Traditional Chinese Medicine it is said that this energy flows through the body through roads, which we will call Channel, and there are access sites to these channels, where the energy emerges called Resonators.
For Western culture it is confusing that a medicine, without clear physiological sustenance, can be beneficial. However, for Orientals this is the main premise for thousands of years, and that the idea has lasted for so long and even now is current, speaks of its effectiveness. Although scientific studies have not been able to clearly determine, beyond a reasonable doubt, that this type of alternative therapies, based on the energy of being, can have results as a treatment for various diseases, there is evidence of many people who have achieved heal their pathologies through acupuncture, thus achieving a number of followers around the world
For this medicine, the disease is not seen as a traumatic process, but rather as an "adaptive state of health", which consists of the imbalance resulting from the hectic lifestyles that are currently experienced. It is that, it is not a secret that many diseases are caused by inadequate lifestyles, and emotions that are not channeled correctly. This is how acupuncture does not treat the symptom, but rather tries to directly change the cause that causes this symptom to appear. Offering a more lasting response and a feeling of "Peace and well-being" in the individual.
Balance is a complicated concept for Westerners, just like energy, because we were never told about it, for us they are concepts a little more mystical than real. But when you dare to travel a slightly different path, and you start looking for the peace that is within you, as a means to heal both physical and emotional ailments, you realize that we are simply energy in movement, that vibrates positive mood and smile, is as effective as any pill, that facing problems with good disposition makes us less likely to get sick and, most importantly, happier, than to breathe consciously from time to time makes us make better decisions, and that avoiding anger, sadness, obsession, melancholy and above all fear can be as good as any medicine.
Acupuncture is nothing more than a technique that tries to get us in tune with ourselves and the universe, so that, somehow, the energy that is wiser than us goes to the place we have to go and brings us back to that state of tranquility and balance, but only be achieved, if we make real changes in the way we lead life, we learn to flow and let go a little those feelings and ailments that afflict us.
So, how do you seek your balance? Would they be encouraged to get acupuncture?
