Acupunture
Acupuncture is an alternative medical practice that typically entails using very thin needles to stimulate certain points on the body. It helps to alleviate pain, as well as treat various health conditions, restoring balance to the body and healthy function to all the organs and systems within you. It is done by stimulating acupuncture points, which are otherwise known as acupoints. It is used to release the blockage and stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
The needles just rest there, or sometimes they are attached to a battery-powered stimulator, which causes a gentle tingle. The needle is left for 10 to 20 minutes before simply being taken out again. The patient often feels relaxed for a few hours, even a bit sleepy. Then he or she may notice that the symptoms feel a bit better-though, just as likely, not after only one treatment. This performance is repeated once a week for a course of six or eight treatments, and in most cases, the symptoms gradually disappear.
