Introduction of acupuncture

01 What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture (针灸ZhenJiu) in traditional Chinese medicine is actually a combination of acupuncture (Zhen针) and moxibustion (Jiu灸). Acupuncture is the use of filiform needles to pierce the patient's acupoints of meridians, and the manipulation of twisting and lifting is used to treat diseases. The moxibustion method is to fumigate the acupuncture points with ignited moxa, and use the heat stimulation to treat the disease. Acupuncture has been a kind of treatment technique for over two thousand years. Because it is safe, effective, and has no side effects, WHO recognized Chinese Acupuncture in the 1970s and the WHO had listed 300 diseases suitable for acupuncture treatment. The Standard Acupuncture by WHO has 361 acupoints of 12 main meridians and extra 8 meridians and more than 40 extra acupoints on the human body.

02 Acupuncture and moxibustion is a safe, effective method of treatment, no side effect of the western medicine.

Acupuncture is the insertion of thin needles into the skin. Acupoints are interspace beside bones, tendons, muscles, between bone and muscles, or tendon. So, needles pierce the slide into the skin, will not damage blood vessels, nerves or any tissues. On the chest, upper back and abdomen, needles will be transverse or oblique insertion, so it will not damage any organs and tissues. Because the diameter of the needles is between 0.13mm-0.30mm, very tiny smaller called filiform needles, so you will almost not feel pain when the needles insert. No side effects like painkillers.

03 What is the function of acupuncture and moxibustion?

When the needles insert into the acupoints, “transmitters from the acupoints” will conduct through meridians in the body. Acupuncture may open and dredge the meridians, regulate qi and blood, make yin and yang return to a relative balance, and make the functions of the viscera tend to be in harmony, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and curing diseases. Acupuncture and moxibustion therapy may relieve pain, increase energy, improve mood, improve physical function, and improve circulation.
