Recently started to diligently follow in acupuncture therapy. Initially accompanying his wife who was therapy for heartburn. But apparently continuity.
The therapy places are in Cimahi, Bandung at the clinic of Pak Agus and Pak Endang. The place is a remote area, entering from Bandung - Padalarang highway about 2 km, although it is quite far from Bandung but quite crowded, if you look around it doesn't just number D, there are many number B plates. and the cots where the therapy is quite a lot. Restricted partition curtains for privacy. If it comes crowded with the family, you can line up together, the curtain partition is open so you can see it.
The theory of acupuncture is actually obviously not medical treatment (modern). So the reference is not medical theory. What I have heard is similar to the "5 elements" philosophy I learned at Jedi Academy. What views the human body consists of 5 elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Soil, Metals. These five elements present the balance in a continuous life cycle. Water creates Wood, Wood creates Fire, Fire creates Land, Land creates Metal, and Metal creates Water.
The imbalance of these elements will interfere with the flow of "the force" or in China known as "chi" in our body. Remember the word master Yoda, all these elements are essentially the force that changes shape. Well, the stimulation function with needles here is said to be effective in rebalancing the imbalance. Do this by sticking needles at points in the Acupuncture line. The body organs that are the main "concern" of Acupuncturists are generally also related to these 5 elements, for example: heart (fire), stomach (soil), intestine (metal), kidney (water) and liver (wood).
Initially during the first therapy, Mr. Agus felt the pulse to detect the imbalance of "the force" flow in my body. I had a moment of agitation too, see Mr. Agus touching my pulse with a serious expression and a furrowed brow. As if knowing that I was a Jedi who was trained to use "the force", Mr. Agus immediately accused that my internal body was "burning", and that it appeared from a nutrient-poor skin. The skin becomes dry and wrinkled like master Yoda. Yes, sir, Mr. Agus, that's a powerful effect of the "force". From burning it also disrupts liver and kidney function. Ok, Mr. Agus, go ahead, what is clear is that I want the morning cold to disappear and the stomach is a little slim. Understandably, the impact of Jedi's years of training made me in the morning runny and fat belly. Pak Agus and Pak Endang, the people are young and fun to talk to. Pak Agus himself has been stabbing for 25 years, and has studied everything to China. As a senior, he did the stabbing. After 1/2 hour - 1 hour, later Mr. Endang pulls out the needle. The needle used is a sterile disposable needle imported from China. One month they can run out of 3000-4000 needles. The first points are pierced in the upper and lower abdomen of the navel, hands and feet. Only tomorrow will it add a new spot near the nose. It doesn't hurt when it's stabbed, but if you turn the needle again, a similar sensation appears in the stroom. Just startled. Then certain points feel sore or tingling. Especially if in the hands / feet, we continue to try the movement when there is a needle. After a long time the stab spread to the forehead, head, waist. Mr. Agus doesn't really want to consume supplements or drugs. Even though Chinese herbs or medicine, he did not recommend, because it burdened the work of the stomach and liver.
The result. Believe it or not, at the first 2 sessions, the blockage of the force energy in the nose seems to run straight and successfully re-routes throughout the body. Even since the first session. As a result, if the morning is no longer a cold. What about the fate of the stomach after Acupuncture? Hmm ... this has been more than a month after Acupuncture, the result: Weight added! Hehehe ... how not, after eating a lot of food, sleep so well. Indeed, I felt the side effects early in the week: Rada was weak, and hunger continued. Even though the brain feels thinner. I asked Mr. Agus, said he did not dare to reduce my appetite, because it requires nutrients for other areas of the body that are lacking in nutrients. How come sir our stomach is? Well, be diligent in sports, sir, the food is limited (that's what he is ...), because he is more concerned about developing organs that are starting to decline. Not only me + wife, child + father-in-law also likes to follow in Acupuncture. Sasha has cough + sore throat + fever. Twice to Pak Agus Alhamdulillah the fever fell without taking antibiotics, then the third session coughed up. Ivan, like to join once a week to protect your health, the result is that the child has more movement. O yes, Mr. Agus, I admit that I am smart in dealing with pediatric patients. Even baby. Especially for other children, the needles are smaller, smaller. My kids said it wasn't sick. But I see many other children crying. But understand that "the Force" is strong in our family. my children almost always sleep well when acupuncture.
