Why Acupuncture? Why Now? |
Never before has our food supply been so contaminated. Never before have there been so many chemicals in the air. Never before have there been so many modern conveniences yet still stress and heart disease take their toll. And never before has there been so much degenerative disease in this country. We rarely cook from scratch and seldom use whole food ingredients. We (Americans) know the importance of exercise, but how many of us exercise 4-6 times per week? All of these changes fall under the human condition that effects Americans all over the country.
As you can see, life in this country has changed dramatically since the industrial revolution. After World War II we began using chemicals to grow crops, added chlorine to our water supply and now have an average of 400 chemicals in our homes.
So Why Acupuncture? Why natural medicine? Why now?
Quite simply, our bodies can not take any more chemical stress, emotional stress or chemical medications. They are inundated with toxins and our livers are dieing.
The liver is the largest filter of the body. When clogged with toxins, this can lead to numerous degenerative conditions with varying symptoms such as: headaches, allergies, migraines, chronic pain, digestive issues, low energy and much more.
The primary reason to use acupuncture an Oriental Medicine is to restore optimal function of the body- opposed to how modern medical treatments which suppress symptoms, never really addressing the cause of the problem.
Most importantly, the following reasons for adding Oriental Medicine in to your health regimine are:

How Does Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Work? |
Oriental Medicine is a thorough diagnostic and treatments system of medicine. 5000 years ago there were no MRI's, bloodwork, or X-rays to diagnose the body. There were, however, palpation techniques to determine the conditon of the vital 12 organs of the body. Each organ, incidentally, has an emotion associated with it and this is why acupuncture is so great at handling the effects of stress.
Like Western medicine, Oriental Medicine understands that the electricity that runs thorugh the nervous system sends info to ever one of our 3 trillion cells telling it how to function. In Oriental Medicine we call this electricity "qi" ("chee.") Qi is the energy that moves blood, brings oxygen and nutrients to each and every cell, while removing toxins from cells and tissue.
Have you ever seen someone who is very ill? They are weak and their skin is usually pale. This is serious qi deficiency.
If your energy is blocked in one area, similar to inflammation, there will be a deficiency of energy in another area. Balancing out the stagnation and deficiency of energy brings the body back to homeostasis= proper function therefore, good health.
Do you now see how important it is to have smoothe flowing energy and blood through your body?
