Preface
The ever mysterious Qi with the needling technique releases the blocked flow of
energy and invigorates our body. Takes pressure off our central nervous system.
Our body is composed of over 700 pressure points, its amazing how someone can
live in a tremendous amount of pain daily and be so out of touch with their body
that they over look the actual reason behind. Tension, headaches, stress, preexisting conditions. Acupuncture releases pressure off your central nervous-system
and restores your energy field.
When someone is experiencing tremendous amounts of pain in their body not only
is that pleasant if you take a deeper look you are also experiencing your bodies
energy field being disrupted. Acupuncture is based on a form of traditional Chinese
medicine that has been practiced for at least 2,500 years. The Theory of why
Acupuncture tends to work so well for so many people is it can manipulate and
regulate blood and energy flow connected by 20 pathways or meridians that
connect to 2,000+ acupuncture points on the human body. Tiny hair thin needles
are inserted into these points providing relief from various ailments.
It is also conceived that it consequences the body temperature and assigns it back
in balance and at the same time will stimulate the activity of the white blood cells.
There is no doubt that acupuncture is here to stay on as it has been for centuries.
The meridian lines are believed by the Chinese to be lines of vitality and this is
where the aging procedure will commence from hence this is where the treatments
should happen. The rationality being is because of the flow of energy.
Essentials of Acupuncture is an aesthetically pleasing book, which presents up to
date research in the field of acupuncture therapy. It is written in a simple language
that makes it accessible and understandable to all readers, even those unfamiliar
with Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture Anesthesia is another segment
which has been exquisitely presented by the authors.
