Even during prehistoric times, acupuncture has been into existence for thousands of years. Along the course of Chinese history, it has also come along back then. There are several approaches to acupuncture in different parts of the world. Moreover, there are also various explanations that can be derived from it as to how and why it works, together with different practices.





In primeval China, what generally used to explain the effects of acupuncture was the doctrine of the Taoist. Nevertheless, some forms of scientific explanations were now delivered as to why it works. In modern practice, the integration of East and West philosophy is noticeable.





There were no needles back then when acupuncture emerged. What were used in Ancient times was carved stones according to historian's belief. They started to use needles about 2,000 years ago. Since the needles can give a greater effect, it is assumed that it was developed after massage and acupressure.









How Ancient Chinese Acupuncture Works

It can't be denied that Chinese medicine acupuncture plays a vital responsibility in promoting one's health and restoring balance. While several scientists are still in a state of enigma as to how it works, the basic understanding is that enkephalins and endorphins are produced through stimulation of pressure points on various parts of the body.





These, when compared to any prescription drug, are far more potent as they are the body's natural pain killers. In primordial Chinese acupuncture, the immune systems are stimulated, muscles are relieved, and the inflammation is reduced. Since all of the major organs in the body depend on natural electricity, it therefore helps out in improving energy flow. Different conditions including obesity, arthritis, menstrual cramps, back ache, injury, and more are effectively treated.





Modern acupuncture

Modern acupuncture and ancient Chinese acupuncture are basically the same except for the blending of acupuncture with other treatments to enhance its effectiveness. Let's say for instance, in order to stimulate the pressure points, an electro-acupuncture along with the application of pulsating electrical currents is employed as well as the use of laser applying a laser beam to pressure points instead of needles.













Ancient Chinese acupuncture can be tracked down since stones were still used to insert into pressure points. The overall philosophy and process didn't evolve although its healing technique has made many advances. Why not give yourself a try on your next medical treatment if you want to experience the health benefits of this ancient healing wisdom
