Needles.
That is the first thing that pops to anyone's had when they hear the term acupuncture.
However, there are a lot of things that are not known about acupuncture.
Needles are just the tip of the iceberg and you have a lot of things to know and discover about this type of medical practice.
To learn more about acupuncture, here are some of the things that I am sure you do not know about acupuncture: 1.
Acupuncture looks at the body as an interconnected system.
There are a lot of things and systems in your body.
In acupuncture all these systems are working in unison in order to achieve harmony and good health.
If one of the system is sick it is possible that it will not affect that system but it will affect the other systems of the body.
To simplify things, acupuncture treats the human body like a big river.
When a part of a river is not functioning properly, the problem often is not that region itself but can be seen in other regions.
Acupuncture is like this because it believes that the chi flows from one system to another and if the flow of chi is disturbed then the whole body is affected.
2.
Acupuncture acknowledges the fact that the physical is affected by emotional aspects and vice-versa.
The physical ills of a person can and is also determined by how he is mentally or emotionally.
In acupuncture the emotion and the physical is not mutually exclusive.
They affect one another and a person will not be cured if one of the two is not in top order.
These are just two of the facts about acupuncture that are not well known to the public.
If you take time to learn this practice then you can go out and discover new things about this method.
