Acupuncture for Internal Diseases

The history and the techniques of the Acupuncture for internal diseases.

Acupuncture for internal diseases is as effective as for pain control and different forms of neck and back discomfort. Acupuncturists use very thin needles, meridional massage, and various Chinese herbs to treat pain, hormone imbalances, insomnia, emotional distress, infertility, and other internal medical disorders. We also utilize natural methods (such as nutrition, dietetics, and lifestyle guidance) to prevent diseases before they even have a chance to occur.Acupuncture for internal diseasesAcupuncture is an ancient Chinese treatment that originated about 5,000 years ago. It is an ancient form of medical art with different techniques in which tiny needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points in the body to improve health and well-being. These acupuncture points are based on the ancient Chinese traditions of “Qi” and “meridians”. Qi refers to balancing the flow of energy or life force that is believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in our body.

These pathways or meridians are basically the internal systems of communication between specific organs or networks of organs. Chinese scientists believe that there are 12 major meridians in the human body and illness may occur when the energy flow along one or more meridians are blocked or out of balance. Hence, the Qi and meridians technique balances the energy flow in the body.

Surprisingly, the patient never feels any pain of the needles since the acupuncture technique of needle insertion is very gentle. In some cases, the needles are inserted very superficially and in another very deep into the skin and muscles and in both cases, needles are usually left in place for 5-20-30 or 40 minutes. In some specific cases, needles may be inserted and left for an hour or even longer. To boost the effects of the therapy, the acupuncturist may twist the needles or apply heat or a weak electrical current.

The acupuncturist decides which points to needle by questioning the patient. Basically, there are four diagnostic methods which include inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiring, and palpation. During the inspection, the acupuncturist analyzes the face and the tongue particularly the tongue size, shape, tension, color and coating, and the absence or presence of teeth marks around the edge.

Auscultation and olfaction refer to listening for particular sounds like wheezing, and attending to body odor. Inquiring relates to chills and fever; perspiration; appetite, thirst and taste; defecation and urination; pain; and sleep. Palpation involves feeling the body for tender “ashi” points.
