Treatment through
Acupuncture
By Dr. Dany
Lousky
Acupuncture is a
method of treatment
typical of the
physical dimension.
Through acupuncture,
it is possible to
train and practice
the ability to
determine and
realize objectives.
In Chinese medicine,
acupuncture is a
primary method of
treatment in every
illness accompanied
by pain. Acupuncture
is a Chinese method
in which very thin
needles are inserted
into different
points of the body
to stimulate certain
points in the body.
This stimulation
causes a desired
physiological
response of the body
and opens energetic
obstructions in the
body. Chinese
medicine speaks of
the different paths
of energy in the
body (meridians),
through which the
energy of life,
called chi (the free
will) flows and goes
to each and every
limb of the body,
nurtures it, and
protects it, as does
the immune system
(Pearle, 2000).
When an obstruction
is created in the
flow of the chi, due
to different
reasons, then pain
is created. If this
is a sudden
obstruction, then a
sharp and very
strong pain is
created. If this is
a chronic, gradual
obstruction, then
the pain will be
less strong but
longer in duration.
The release of the
obstructions is
accomplished through
acupuncture or
pressure on the key
points along the
meridians (channels
of energy). In the
next stage, the
energy resumes flow
freely and
harmoniously and the
pain disappears.
Pressure on or
acupuncture of the
point between the
thumb and finger,
for example, can
release obstructions
in the energetic
flow to the brain
and consequently it
can significantly
ease headaches,
sinusitis,
toothache, etc. The
needles ease the
pain, since the
acupuncture causes
the body to release
endorphins
(endorphin is a
pain-relieving
hormone). Therefore,
Chinese acupuncture
is considered
effective in the
treatment of
backaches,
migraines,
headaches, menstrual
pains, joint pains,
etc.
The realm of the
easement of pains
using Chinese
acupuncture has been
a subject of
increasing research
in recent years
(Levy, 2006) . A
comparative
examination of a
number of researches
on the topic shows
that Chinese
acupuncture eases
pains in up to 90%
of the cases. The
data of this
research were
collected in Germany
from scores of
participants. In the
human body 400
points suited to
acupuncture were
identified. When a
needle is inserted
into a certain point
of the body, the
brain is stimulated
to excrete
endorphin. The
acupuncture opens
the energetic
obstructions in the
body and provides
easement by opening
the obstructions.
According to Chinese
medicine, there are
twelve meridians in
the body and these
in essence are
tracks of energy on
the body upon which
the acupuncture
points are situated
(Pearle, 2000).
Acupuncture
significantly eases
different types of
pain and saves the
patient use of
unnecessary drugs
and thus the side
effects that derive
from the regular
consumption of pain
killers (Levy,
2006).
Integrated medicine
is medicine that
integrates treatment
methods in each one
of the four
dimensions that
comprise the whole
person. The ability
to determine and
realize objectives
is withheld form
patients because of
the body’s pains.
Easing or avoiding
the pain through
acupuncture
significantly helps
improve the
abilities
(intelligences) in
the physical
dimension. In a
situation of
easement or good
physical
functioning, the
person can determine
and even realize
objectives (Lousky,
2005).
