Acupuncture
Acupuncture
involves the insertion of extremely fine needles into
a patient’s body at specific locations, called
acupoints, to stimulate and eventually balance the energy
flow in the body. The existence of the acupoints, mapped
out by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years,
has been confirmed by modern scientific methods, for
example, electromagnetic detection.
In K.J. Clinic, only sterilized, individually packaged,
disposable needles are used.
What
Might Feel During Acupuncture Treatment?
Depending
on the points selected, a patient may feel some warmth,
tingling, or electric sensation either around the needles
or along the affected energy pathway. In general, the
entire process is actually quite relaxing with minimum
side effects.
In case of discomfort, a short rest after the treatment
should result in fully recovering.
Chinese
Herbal Medicine
The
treatment of Chinese Herbal Medicine typically involves
two steps: diagnosis and herbal prescription. Diagnosis
begins with differentiate TCM pattern in a patient.
According to TCM theory, this pattern reflects the person’s
physical condition, emotional temperament and body constitution.
After the diagnosis, the patient receives a herbal prescription
for treating the disorders shown in his/her diagnosed
pattern.
Acupressure
Like
acupuncture, acupressure, also called Tui Na, balances
energy flow by stimulating acupoints. However, the stimulation
is carried out by the practitioner’s finger pressure
rather than needles as in Acupuncture. This method is
especially effective for balancing energy in deep tissues
and muscles, healing stress-caused disorders and enhancing
physical and mental vitality.
