Acupuncture is an ancient medical
treatment that was first practiced in China more than 2000 years ago.The
Chinese acupuncturists used herbs and the needle insertion method to cure many
health problems.By the 6th century it spread to other Asian
countries especially Japan and Korea who with the passing of time developed
their style of acupuncture though they maintained the originality of the
Chinese one.It is a drug and surgery free treatment that is why it renders no
kind of side effects.
The western countries used to
regard this ancient holistic medical approach as prejudiced and were not sure
of its results.It is recently these countries have started recognizing it as
an effective as well as safe treatment than the conventional methods.Acupuncture
is effectual many health problems like fevers,cough and cold, infections,digestive problems and even some very complicated health problems.
Acupuncturists believe that
health issues occur when there is disruption in the energy flow in the whole
body. So to bring back the flow of energy in the body they insert thin needles
in specific points known as acupuncture points to stimulate them which gradually bring relief in the whole
structure.This method is less painful and is known to improve the health
condition apart from the specific health problem.All the three acupuncture
styles believe in this principle only their methods are bit different.

results.This may include bioelectric medicines,moxibustion,laser therapy and
more which several clinics all over the world are using along with the
