Japanese Acupuncture: An Effective Medical Treatment

Acupuncture mainly hails from China and history dates back thousands years ago.It came to Japan through Korea in the 6th century and since then it became a popular practice in the country.Though it is an ancient form of medical practice but has lately gained recognition all over the world.It not only heals the discomfort of the body but also helps in keeping it healthy.

In this medical practice sterilized needles are inserted on specific points of the body called Acupuncture Points which releases one from the pain.Japanese style acupuncture is a little different.In this method the needles used are much smaller and lesser number of them is inserted in the body. By insertion of the needles the flow of qi is balanced. Qi is basically the energy in the body which helps in the functioning of the total body.As the needles are inserted in specific points they start affecting the vital organs and they start affecting the body.So if the qi is balanced the whole body functions properly.Another important aspect of Japanese acupuncture is that it emphasizes on the strong senses of touch and so it palpitate the stomach instead of tongue.It also believes that skin is the interface sending and receiving information about the whole body and so touch and needle insertion is used in this method. 

 

 Japanese Style Acupuncture is today practiced all over the world and there are many clinics in Australia that heals all health problems.
