How does Acupuncture work?
Acupuncture has been practiced successfully in Asia for over 3,000 years. Yet, here in the West, it remains poorly understood. The traditional philosophies behind how acupuncture works involve an intricate balance of qi (energy), blood, and other vital substances that flow through meridians or channels. When there is an imbalance of this system of flow, pain or other pathologies are experienced. The acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points on a channel with the intention of either dispersing areas of stagnation or bringing more nourishment to a deficient area.
Modern scientists are often fascinated by the mechanism behind how acupuncture works because it is so poorly understood using scientific models of thought. Research into the "how" and "why" of acupuncture's clinical success is being studied in research labs across the world. As acupuncture continues to grow in popularity, the demand for more research will continue to grow as well. With more well-documented studies proving the efficacy of acupuncture, it is more likely to be considered an integral part of the 21st century healthcare realm.
