Acupuncture

Chinese medical theory is rooted in the concept of Yin and Yang. While its foundational principles align with those of conventional medicine, the terminology differs. In this context, Yin represents the physical substance that we can see, referring to the body itself, while Yang signifies function, which cannot be observed directly. The balance of Yin and Yang is crucial; if there is only Yin without Yang, the result is a lifeless body or a corpse. Conversely, if there is only Yang without Yin, it does not represent a human existence and may resemble a ghost. For example, when the thyroid gland is inflamed (Yin), a person may be diagnosed with hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto’s disease. Depending on whether thyroid antibodies are present, the gland’s function, which relies on producing thyroxin (Yang), may be compromised. Chinese medicine aims to restore the functioning of the damaged gland so it can produce thyroxin. This restoration process is referred to as balancing Yin and Yang in Chinese medical treatment.

In Chinese medicine, the primary tools used in clinics for treating various diseases are acupuncture and herbal medicine.

Acupuncture involves inserting needles of different sizes into specific locations on the body, known as acupuncture points. Stimulating these points activates the vagus nerve, which transmits signals to the organs that require treatment.

Acupuncture is well-known for its effectiveness in treating pain, but it can also help with a variety of diseases. Every disease is caused by cell damage by factors such as injury, infection, or non- infection-related issues. At our clinic, we identify each disease by its specific name and use acupuncture to address the root cause: inflammation.

The effectiveness of acupuncture lies in its ability to harness the nervous system to guide damaged cells toward recovery, restoring their function. This approach alleviates pain, especially when inflammation affects sensory nerves. However, acupuncture can also treat inflammation in specific organs, even those without sensory nerves, without causing pain, organ failure, or cancer. By targeting the source of the problem and reversing the pathological process, acupuncture serves as a powerful tool for treating various diseases and promoting longevity. Additionally, it offers cosmetic benefits as well. Acupuncture has a history of thousands of years of clinical practice and is renowned for its ability to treat conditions without side effects. This approach helps to reverse damaged cells, which may result in a longer treatment duration. We can use medication to alleviate symptoms during this time and discontinue it when the damaged cells have been regenerated. This method is known as integrative medicine, and it aims to minimize the side effects of medications.

As a medical tool, acupuncture has shown significant effectiveness in our clinical research. It has played a crucial role in restoring damaged organs, preventing the need for organ transplants, and helping cancer patients return to a more normal state of health. Research is ongoing to better understand the mechanisms behind these treatments.
