5. Acupuncture: A Traditional
Medical Practice
• Chinese traditional medical practices explain the results of acupuncture as a
harmonious balance of extremes “yang” and “yin” of the life force which is known as
“qi.” This illness is caused by the imbalance of the forces. These energies and
meridians flows are accessible through more than 300 acupuncture points in the
human body. Inserting the needles into these points with suitable combinations which
can bring the flow of energy back to the proper balance. There is no scientific proof that
acupuncture points exist but many studies suggest that this practice is effective for
some conditions. Some of the experts have used the science behind the nervous
system to explain acupuncture. The points of the acupuncture covered those areas
where muscles, nerves, and connective tissues can be motivated. This motivation will
increase the flow of blood, while at the same time triggering the activity of the natural
painkillers of the body.
• Because of the invasive nature of acupuncture, it is difficult to set up the investigation
using the scientific control. Some of the studies have claimed that acupuncture
provides the same benefits as placebo which is a clinical practice, but others have
claimed that there are many benefits of acupuncture.

6. Acupuncture: Ways to Improve
Health
• Reducing Migraines and Headaches
• According to a research, acupuncture is a valuable but non-pharmacological tool
in the patients with regular chronic tension-type headaches. After multiple clinical
trials, the researcher found out that this treatment is effective for headaches and
migraine.
• Improves Arthritis Pain, Chronic Pain, and Neck Pain
• Acupuncture proves to be effective against chronic back pain. In Berlin, many
patients with chronic back pain are treated with acupuncture and a significant
difference in pain is reported after eight weeks of treatments in the patients.
• Insomnia Treatment
• A report from Chinese Medicine University shows a beneficial effect of
acupuncture in reducing the symptoms of insomnia, compared with no treatment.
The overall analysis founds out that patients who are taking herbal treatments of
medications to help with the sleep showed much better effects after taking
acupuncture treatment.

7. Acupuncture: Ways to Improve
Health
• Chemotherapy Recovery
• According to many studies, acupuncture can help in boosting immunity and
speeding up the recovery process after chemotherapy. It is also by a researcher
that the treatment of acupuncture improves the platelet count and immunity.
• Prevent Cognitive Decline
• Studies on the topic also claimed that acupuncture is effective at reducing
Parkinson’s disease. Studies also suggest that acupuncture can also relieve the
symptoms of age-related cognitive decline as it creates a neural response in
certain areas of the brain such as the thalamus, and putamen.
• Labor & Pregnancy
• Many of the doctors are now suggesting acupuncture as a treatment to reduce
the pain of labor and pregnancy, balance hormones, and reduce stress. It is
considered to be a safe treatment in pregnancy because it reduces emotional
strain and physical symptoms experienced by mother.

8. Benefits of Acupuncture
• Lower Chronic Pain
• According to the latest research on the topic, acupuncture can reduce the pain up
to 17% when it is used for a number of different types of pain, but primarily
focused back pain that may result from poor sleeping habits, physical stress, old
injuries, pregnancy, and tightness of muscles.
• Arthritis Treatment
• Acupuncture provides different options for reducing the debilitating and painful
effects of arthritis. Inserting the needles in the meridians the nerve ends
communicate with the brain and tells it to feel full or aching. This process will
release the endorphins, which is normally released during stress and to block the
receptors of pain.
• Reduce Migraine Pain
• Some past studies have shown that the patients who are treated with
acupuncture had a greater chance of showing a reduction in the pain rather than
the modern medical treatment.
• Vomiting and Nausea
• To reduce vomiting and nausea there are certain acupuncture pressure points
near the wrist and the underside of the forearm. Acupuncture is also effective in
reducing nausea and vomiting that is caused by chemotherapy treatment.
