Acupuncture therapy is highly effective in treating diseases.
This has been unanimously acknowledged by many people. In fact, if we look around, we can find many examples of people who have been cured or experienced improvement in their conditions through acupuncture, acupressure, and other similar therapies. Furthermore, there are also many people who have personally experienced the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy and are passionate about it.
Regarding the medical methods of acupuncture therapy, we will not go into detail here. However, what can be confirmed is that acupuncture therapy is not a scam and clearly has a significant impact on diseases.
So why is it so effective?
This question even stumps those who boast about the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy. Although many people know that it is highly effective, they are not clear about the real reason behind it. Traditional Chinese medicine has always used its unique way of thinking to explain the effects of acupuncture therapy. In the book "Huangdi Neijing - Suwen," there is a record that says "when qi and blood are not smooth, diseases arise." The so-called qi and blood refer to a type of energy that governs the internal organs. If this energy flows in a disordered manner, it will cause various diseases.
Acupoints are located on the pathways of energy flow. These pathways are called "meridians," and the correct term for acupoints should be "acupoints on the meridians." If there is an abnormality in the internal organs, it will be reflected on the meridians associated with those organs, and further, it will be reflected on the acupoints where the energy flow is not smooth. Therefore, by stimulating the acupoints, the flow of energy can be smooth, and the desired effect of treating diseases can be achieved. This is the purpose of acupuncture therapy.
Unfortunately, no matter how many explanations of this kind we have heard, as modern people, we still cannot summarize why acupuncture therapy is effective. When we hear terms like qi and blood, which have unclear reasons, we feel that it is unscientific and even doubt the efficacy of acupuncture therapy. Perhaps this is because acupuncture therapy is one of the mysteries of Chinese medicine!
The effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in treating diseases has indeed been widely acknowledged, and recently, it has been gradually analyzed using scientific methods.
In simple terms, the conclusion is: the efficacy of acupuncture therapy is achieved by stimulating the acupoints to regulate the autonomic nervous system and promote physical health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when there is a disorder in the body's circulatory system, it will lead to illness, and this state of energy imbalance is, in other words, an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system.
