Traditionally, acupuncture is only known in eastern medicine. But now, western medicine had already started to adopt it. Acupuncture works by inserting or manipulating needles into "acupuncture points" of the body.
According
to the teachings of the science of acupuncture, this method will
restore health, fitness, and in particular is very good for treating
pain. Some
experts have recognized the effectiveness of traditional medicine from
China, especially in treating various diseases such as below:
For most women, having beautiful and slim body, of course, be a dream. No wonder that many women who have problems with weight gain, especially those who are obese, often looking for quick and inexpensive way to lose weight, including alternative methods.
One alternative method that has been chosen in a thin body is acupuncture therapy. This is a treatment technique used in traditional Chinese medicine. The needles are very sharp used to stimulate specific points on the body.
In practice, the treatment of obesity with acupuncture method does not always guarantee success. Acupuncture therapy should not be too arbitrary. If not done by people who are real experts, the therapy would probably be in vain.
According to nutrition experts from the Department of Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (Faculty of medicine), Dr. Samuel Oetoro, treatment of obesity with acupuncture method should be done by people who are real experts.
In doing acupuncture, there are two points on the body that was stabbed. First is the desire to continue eating dots and the second is a point of metabolism.
"It worked when stabbed in the right spot, and should be done by people who are real experts," he said in courses and seminars with the theme of obesity Management of Obesity and Its Related Problems, Friday (8/4/2011) in Jakarta.
Based on the results of several studies, it is clear Oetoro, slimming through acupuncture method results are not too significant. According to him, most acupuncture patients who feel lost weight, more because of the influence of drugs given. In fact, an acupuncture expert who really are not going to give medicine to patients.
"If there are patients who come home from acupuncture to go home to take medication, then acupuncture is not convincing," he said.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of more than 2,500 years. It views the human body as a system of energy flows. When these flows are balanced, the body is healthy. The practitioners examine patients' pulses and observing their tongues to diagnose energy imbalances. In Chinese medicine, the pulse can be checked at three locations on each wrist, and at three depths at each location.
Illness is not defined by symptoms or the name of a disease like "HIV infection." Conversely, a Chinese medicine practitioner will talk about energy imbalances. The language can sound very strange, like "yin deficiency" or "increase in kidney heat." Chinese words yin and yang describe the energy that mutually exclusive that should remain balanced, and Qi (pronounced "chi") can be roughly defined as the energy or life force.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many ways to improve the balance of the body's energy flow. The most common techniques used in western countries are exercise techniques such as Qigong or Tai Chi, acupuncture (acupuncture), and herbal medicine.
