Chinese acupuncture course. Learning Chinese Acupuncture

Acupuncture, better known as “acupuncture”, is a treatment method that belongs to the field of alternative medicine. Its purpose is to restore health and balance to the body and mind through the release of blocked energy. Acupuncture treatment is based on the theory that the health of the body depends on the free flow of life energy (“chi”) in the human body, in a continuous and smooth balanced manner, through an intricate network of energy paths called meridians. These paths connect to different areas of the body and directly affect the functions of the internal organs and body systems. According to Eastern teachings, life energy exists in the universe and in every body (“chi”) which is the basis of mental and physical health. When the flow of “chi” encounters any barrier, it will adversely affect the overall health and internal balance of the human body. Disharmony (imbalance) in “chi” in a certain organ may cause disease or some kind of functional disorder, mental stress, injuries, inflammations, and many other kinds of diseases.

Acupuncture is an effective treatment method for health problems and various functional disorders, today even in conventional medicine, the effectiveness of the method is acknowledged and recommended to be used. The acupuncture method is based on the insertion of extremely thin needles into certain points in the body in order to release energetic blockages, which cause physical and mental diseases. Each of the acupuncture points has a different meaning and is designed to treat different symptoms. The acupuncture needles stimulate the nerve fibers found in the muscles and cause the release of endorphins and physiological substances, which help relieve pain and moderate the destructive processes of the body’s tissues and even affect the mind, improving the mood, relieving stress and anxiety and improving the immune system, etc.
