Acupuncture is a common method in traditional Chinese medicine for regulating the body. It has a history of thousands of years in China. Many people have heard of acupuncture, but they don't know much about it. What are the effects of acupuncture? For those who are new to acupuncture, it is important to know the precautions and contraindications before and after acupuncture.
Effects of Acupuncture
1. Clearing the meridians
By properly using acupuncture in daily life, it can make the meridians that are blocked by internal stasis more unobstructed. This allows the body to function normally. Acupuncture at specific acupoints can make the meridians more clear and improve the circulation of qi and blood.
2. Harmonizing yin and yang
Acupuncture is very effective in harmonizing yin and yang. Regular acupuncture can balance the imbalance of yin and yang. Acupuncture at specific acupoints can improve discomfort in the body. In addition to acupuncture, moxibustion can also be used to stimulate specific acupoints, which helps to regulate the body.
3. Assisting the body in expelling pathogenic factors
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the process of recovery from illness is a battle between righteous and pathogenic factors. Acupuncture can be used to regulate the body and assist in expelling pathogenic factors. Regular acupuncture can eliminate internal cold and heat, and help harmonize the functions of the organs, thus preventing diseases.
4. Beauty and skin care
Acupuncture can also address certain skin problems, such as acne, dull skin, and dark circles. Acupuncture can promote blood circulation, reduce facial melanin deposition, and regulate the balance of water and oil in the skin.
Precautions for Acupuncture
1. Targeted treatment
Acupuncture does have good therapeutic effects for certain diseases, but it is not a universal treatment method. Especially for the treatment of acute and severe diseases, a comprehensive treatment approach should be adopted based on the patient's condition, which is more conducive to the recovery of the disease.
