Acupuncture



Acupuncture therapy is quite apart, but which may be linked to bioenergy or physiotherapy. Finally, no matter what the box store, because any systematization is relative.
As we all know, acupuncture treats using special needles. These needles are much finer than those used for darning a sock, the unpleasant sensation of sting in a meeting it is minimal.
You also certainly know that these sharps are not planted at random, but at points called biologically active body, or placed any which way, but in an orderly manner along the meridians.
Similarly to the chakras, meridians and points are devoid of any active material structure. I mean by this that it is impossible for the naked eye or microscope to differentiate the contour points "magic" and the rest of the surface - it does not receive or nerve endings or cells or other special features. However, unlike the chakras, Hot Spots can still be detected with instruments, since their electrical resistance differs from that of other regions of the skin.

What are the strengths of acupuncture?

This method of planting needles is a really effective therapeutic method. Even doctors backward and skeptics, those who underestimate the importance of iridology, bioenergy or homeopathy are still obliged to acknowledge it.

To achieve a result and because all other methods had proved ineffective, I myself have often been known to use acupuncture. According to my own experiences, "healing in the blink of an eye" is not something so rare. Especially in the case of acute pain, sometimes - as is wont to say - for "the first needle inserted" action benefactress is felt.

The other positive aspect of acupuncture therapy is that it is usually less expensive than other natural therapy.

Under what circumstances is acupuncture effective?

If someone starts to read literature on acupuncture treatment, he then felt that this therapy is suitable for all diseases. This is true in part. In truth, acupuncture is more effective in the fight against pain. She has a great action on joint pain or nerve inflammation, pain in the neck, back, muscle, and in case of stretching of the ligaments, and helps fight against addiction to alcohol, nicotine and drugs . Nothing is more effective in cases of acute back pain, spine and joints. After a session of acupuncture, the patient may leave folded in half the room dancing. The best advertisement for a naturopath! However, a single session is rarely enough to cure. In general, the patient who has just completed its first full session is not freed from his pain sensations. It does not matter, several sessions are usually necessary. When the pain disappears completely, it is generally not to return soon.

Alternative Therapies And Spirituality


Many psycho-spiritual techniques offer to relieve your pain and suffering. The Information Centre Intercantonal beliefs (CIC) helps you find your way in this new healthcare market.

Imposition of hands, energy transmission, body cleaning, communication with the dead, telepathy, elixirs with beneficial ... All these methods used in the so-called alternative therapies advocate a spiritual approach. They often require Eastern religious traditions or Western Esotericism. Dreading the whole person (physical, psychological and spiritual), they appeal to different beliefs, even if they claim a scientific basis. Besides healing, they also promise personal fulfillment and a better life. This is not a new phenomenon. Throughout history religion has been concerned with health and suffering.

Since the 1990s, observed in industrialized societies a boom in alternative therapies affirming the importance of spirituality. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently reported an increased use of alternative medicine in developed countries: it is estimated that over half the population uses at least once this type of practice. This social phenomenon has encouraged the development of a new healthcare market.

If these therapies offer reassuring answers, they also raise questions and concerns from everyone:

* Are they serious?
* Are they recognized?
* Do they have a link with a "cult"?

Without going into the controversy between scientific medicine and alternative therapies, the Center Intercantonal information on beliefs he considers to be careful when the therapist:

* Seeking to support all areas of life - work, family, spiritual,
emotional, social - without necessarily having the skills.
* Recommends to stop or not start medical treatment.
* Makes promises that he can not keep and maintain false hopes in patients.
* Impose exercises that are humiliating or guilt.
* Incite to sever ties with relatives.

It should also be aware that alternative therapies are not officially recognized by law. They are therefore not covered by insurance mandatory. If they are not generally regulated, however, there are cantonal legislation. For example, some cantons prohibit unrecognized therapists treat people with communicable diseases. It is therefore important to learn about the training of the therapist, his method and his fees. Too many patients are involved randomly methods they do not know and realize later that they do not suit them.

If you want to know more about an alternative therapy if you have any doubts about a healer, if you know your rights, please contact the Information Center Intercantonal beliefs. It will inform you free and confidential.
