Unblocks energy centers.
It is the belief that chi (or life force energy) is within all of us, swirling within certain energy centers along the spine. When these energy centers aren’t moving correctly disease and emotional imbalances can occur and diminish your health. Acupuncture helps to keep that energy flowing correctly and helps the body cleanse on a spiritual level.
Counteracts radiation side effects.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments often experience a range of symptoms that cause discomfort, but studies have shown that acupuncture helps with the perception of how bad the side effects are. A review of studies published in CA, a journal of the American Cancer Society, found that “people undergoing radiation treatment perceived fewer negative side effects of radiation even though the side effects may have been present.” The acupuncture didn’t alleviate the symptoms, but did improve patients quality of life after treatment.
The key to using acupuncture is to consult a trained professional that practices the proper hygiene and techniques when providing this therapy.
