In alternative medicine, acupuncture or acupuncture is given first place. This treatment technique involves exposure to active points in different areas of the human body. This also includes cauterization, bloodletting, cupping, acupressure and other acupressure techniques.

Acupuncture was first discussed in China and Japan. The term "acupuncture" was introduced by the Dutch doctor W. Ten Rine at the end of the seventeenth century. He studied a variety of Chinese medicine techniques, but he was more interested in acupuncture. The work written by the doctor was liked by the French, who contributed to the spread of therapy in European countries.

Acupuncture has found application even in traditional medicine. The technique is used as a tonic, soothing, relaxing, analgesic and stimulant. The method is of an alternative nature, but he managed to prove effectiveness in confronting with various pathologies.

As a result, the body functions normally.

The therapeutic effect of acupuncture manifests itself instantly or after a certain time. Acupuncture points are located in thirty-two zones on the human body.

Acupuncture points on the human body

The basis of acupuncture is the healing effect on human systems and organs by stimulating special points. If the procedure is carried out correctly, a strong influence is exerted on the body, so that it functions normally. Knowing the location of acupuncture points on the human body is important.

Acupuncture - a placebo or not ?!

Each person has a different attitude to acupuncture. This type of treatment is comparable in effectiveness to the placebo effect. The technique helps as much as the doctor and patient believe in it. And acupuncture is also unsafe.

Acupuncture often leads to side effects and complications. This bleeding, nausea, damage to organs and nerves, pain, vomiting, infectious diseases. An incorrectly inserted needle under the skin may bend under the influence of muscle spasm. Pulling it out is problematic, and without a push massage it is unrealistic.

The procedure should be carried out by a master who respects the norms of hygiene and sanitation. Only in this way can negative consequences be minimized. If the needle is not understood by an "expert", the outcome of the procedure will be disastrous, even if toothache is eliminated.

Some people have a different opinion. In many countries, acupuncture is officially used in the treatment of various ailments.

Representatives of the World Health Organization recognized that acupuncture effectively affects the human body. Several years ago, the UNESCO organization included this type of treatment in the list of the cultural heritage of mankind. But there are no documents that confirm that acupuncture helps to effectively fight cancer or other serious ailments.
