Testing Out Acupuncture

29th August, 2010 - Posted by health news - No Comments

No person can really explain how acupuncture works, but what we can say for certain is that it does and is an effective way by which to relieve recurring pains and aches, stop smoking and over eating and overcome infertility problems.

Around the world no one can really explain how, or even why, this treatment works, but it does. In China they explain that it involves concepts such as ‘QI‘, imbalance and a complete restoration of harmony throughout the body, however in Western medicine they tend to think its more prone to be about brain chemistry.

Inserting small needles just beneath the skins surface, acupuncture brings about an increase in endorphins, which is the bodies natural ‘feel good’ chemical. Incidentally, it is the same brain chemical that plays a role in regulating the menstrual cycle, the production of eggs and perhaps ovulation.

Research has shown that acupuncture enhances the rate of pregnancy in women undergoing IVF treatment and is advantageous as a secondary therapy to other fertility treatments. It has also been said that acupuncture can assist when the lining of the uterus is too weak to withstand a pregnancy. Acupuncture improves the blood flow, which, will result in a stronger lining in the uterus.

Not only can acupuncture help infertility problems it’s also helpful to patients recovering from operations and is used to overcome more everyday ailments including bad lower back pain and pains and aches in the joints.

It is as well used to overcome addictions such as over-eating and smoking. Many smokers have tried quite a few techniques to stop smoking including patches and chewing gum, however for many acupuncture was the one and only effective method.

Acupuncture has been around for centuries and is a trusted and used worldwide and will carry on being used for many more years to come.
