How Acupuncture Works – Transforming the MYTH
The original theory of Acupuncture taught in medical colleges was Qi (chi) meant energy and that this non- physical energy circulates through non-physical relied vessels in the body called meridians.
The explanation for the improvement via acupuncture is simply due to the patient’s energy is more balanced. This was the myth created through mistranslations my 3 authors of the ancient Chinese medical text, Huang Di Nei Jing in 1939.
FACT
There are four aspects of a body that need to be functioning well in order to be healthy.
- Qi (Oxygen) delivery to the tissues
- Vascular System
- Organ System
- Nervous System
An acupuncture point is a critical juncture where a plexus of arterioles, venules and nerve tissue are located above the main distribution vessels of the body. The sensation created by the needles “jumps” the neural signal threshold and stimulates the brain to release the body’s natural chemicals for pain relief and repair.
- Acupuncture helps to increase circulation/vascular function.
- Acupuncture delivers oxygenated and nutritious blood to the organ systems.
- Acupuncture creates a stimulation to re-boot the neural pathways.
