Acupuncture treatment can be used to fight the pain

Acupuncture is used in traditional Chinese medicine because it stimulates parts of the body in a completely different way than would be the case with applications within conventional medicine. Also referred to as TCM, Traditional Chinese Medicine is a millennia-old practice that has been passed down through generations and is widely known across Asia.

The name of traditional Chinese medicine has long been established and this definition ensures a clear separation from the well-known conventional medicine. In addition to acupuncture, other procedures can also be found in this therapy, which primarily serve to promote the health of the human body. In the meantime, parts of traditional Chinese medicine can also be found in Europe. These include applications such as yoga, meditation or diet. In all segments, acupuncture treatment in Berlin provides one of the most valuable steps to actively treat problem areas of the body and even eliminate pain in a targeted manner.

The foundation of acupuncture treatment at a glance

The energy of life inherent in the body, which is also known as Qi, is of essential, central importance in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Qi is not only found in humans, but in practically all living things. The life energy takes the form of a kind of energetic intertwining that runs through the body. Separate supply paths are known as meridians, which ensure that the energy is transported. A clogged duct prevents the flow of Qi. If this is the case, the pathway must be uncovered, because without a flow of life energy, according to traditional Chinese medicine, diseases can develop more frequently in the body.

Life energy is always dependent on a person's actions. Poor nutrition can lead to a strain on the Qi, as can stress in everyday life or too little exercise. Depending on which meridian was affected, different clinical pictures can appear as a result. Alternative practitioners try to restore the flow of energy and use acupuncture to help with this. With an acupuncture treatment, specific points on the body are addressed that are intended to release the flow of energy again. They are also known as energy points. A blockage in the meridian is released with appropriate treatment via acupuncture at TCM in Berlin.

Targeted stimulation of the meridian with acupuncture

A naturopath uses acupuncture to stimulate the meridian. With the help of special acupuncture needles, clearly defined points, as they have been known for thousands of years, are used to unblock blocked meridians. In addition to acupuncture, which is carried out with acupuncture needles, there is also acupressure in TCM, which is carried out with the fingers. Here, the naturopath exerts pressure on certain areas. In acupuncture, the existing twelve main meridians play an important role. In addition, there are eight other, so-called extraordinary meridians in the body. An important but also interesting fact is the distinction of these main meridians, because they are divided into yin and yang. In order to experience high-quality acupuncture treatment, it is worth visiting an alternative practitioner in Berlin who is not only familiar with the field of TCM, but also has sufficient experience in acupuncture and can therefore treat the meridians in a targeted manner. More and more people are using this option to free themselves from everyday tension or pain through acupuncture.

Where are the Yin meridians?

The Yin meridians can be found on the inside and also on the front of the body. They thus pass through the heart and the lungs, for example, and form the lung meridian and the heart meridian. There are also the kidney meridian and the liver meridian as well as the spleen-pancreas meridian and the pericardial meridian.

Where are the Yang meridians?

The yang meridians run down the back of the human body and consist of, for example, the small intestine meridian and the bladder meridian. The gallbladder meridian, the large intestine meridian and the stomach meridian are also part of it. In addition to this, there is also the so-called triple heater meridian. A good naturopath knows all the yin and yang meridians for his acupuncture treatment. They are of crucial importance because they contain the 361 points that are stimulated by the acupuncture needles.

This is the effect of acupuncture

To this day, science has been hesitant when it comes to precise explanations of healing processes that primarily stem from traditions but have been successfully implemented for thousands of years. However, at least in the case of acupuncture, scientists have long admitted that this technique works, which numerous scientific studies can prove. Acupuncture treatment is also recognized for pain if it is to be used as an alternative therapy. There are still unanswered questions in science, but these do not restrict the actual effectiveness of acupuncture, but rather mean that even researchers from the western world are sometimes amazed at the possibilities that can be realized with this method. Many scientists agree that acupuncture treatment is based on a complex network of various causes.
