How do you believe the Chinese discovered accupuncture/accupressure?

I'm curious as to how these humans of ancient times seemed to realize that an electric current flows through the body and at which points on the body were the positions to apply the pins/pressure to restore proper energy flow and cure ailments

The mechanism of acupressure?

Acupressure is a kind of traditional massage method, as being used in many countries and all especially orient. Beijing massage provides such kind of professional massage service. You can say goodbye to your sore muscles after you get a whole course of treatment from Beijing massage.
But many people don’t know the mechanism of acupressure, which makes them don’t trust in this kind of treatment. Actually, acupressure is a treatment artifice of Chinese traditional treatment. In acupressure, it is believed that the body has 14 meridians running through it, and through which energy, also called as chi, flows through the body. An imbalance in the hot and cold elements of the body, more known as an imbalance between the yin and the yang, can cause this flow of energy to be blocked, leading the body to experience pain and illness.

Acupuncture Treatments For The Urban Dweller

Living in an urban environment has given rise to a host of health related problems. For example, many of us now work in an enclosed area, and we stare at the computer for hours at a stretch. Such sedentary activities not only cause our eyes to tire, they also cause our necks, backs and shoulder areas to hurt.

The soreness comes about due to long working hours without proper rest. When we strain our eyes as we focus on our work, the area between our eyes become tight. Over time, the tightness can lead to soreness. It’s a sign that the muscles need to rest and relax. Unfortunately, due to work demands, many of us ignore these signals. Hence, the tightness continues and eventually leads to unwanted problems.

Here is where acupuncture can help. Acupuncture is not something new. The techniques have been used by Chinese physicians for thousands of years. Treatment involves locating acupressure points, and then inserting the tips of the needles into these points. The needles are so fine that when they are inserted, it hardly hurts. Only the surface of the skin is pricked.

The goal is to restore the healthy energy balance. The Chinese has identified over 300 acupressure points in the human body. They believe that these points are all interconnected. The amazing thing about acupuncture is that treatment doesn’t have to take place at the area where the injury is. Instead, treating another part of the body can very well bring relief to the injured body parts. This is because the Qi (or energy) is dispersed and allowed to flow freely again. Thus, balance is restored.

So what are the implications of acupuncture in our modern society?

Just take a look around you. You are probably surrounded by friends and family members who are constantly complaining about neck pains, back aches, etc. These are chronic pains that result from overworking. In the city, working long hours appear to be inevitable. There doesn’t seem to be a clear solution to these problems.

Fortunately, with the rising popularity of acupuncture, city dwellers are learning how to treat those pains without having to pop pills. Usually, western medicine focuses on treating the symptoms. For instance, if you have a pain in the neck, you may be given some oral pain killers to consume and a tube of muscle rub. You are then expected
1000
to have a good rest and hopefully, the problem goes away by itself.

The problem with this approach is that the root cause is not taken care of. In other words, it’s very likely that the same problem will occur over and over again. Besides, taking pain killers on a regular basis is not good for health in the long term. The body may get accustomed to the drugs and becomes resistant. This means the pain killers will become less and less effective over time.

Acupuncture can help resolve such health problems by providing relief quicker, and there is no need to rely heavily on pills. It is a known fact that acupuncture can help both minor and severe cases. In severe cases, more stimulation will be applied.

Frankincense and myrrh are two herbs mentioned repeatedly in the bible.  I find it fascinating that Egyptians used myrrh for embalming the bodies of Pharaohs while frankincense was used in India as incense for worship during biblical times. These shrubs, or small trees, of the family Burseraceae produce a liquid when the bark is punctured.  That liquid or resin is then dried and cooked with vinegar or honey for medicinal uses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). While both trees originated in the Arabian peninsula, we know they arrived in China by 400 AD, where the exploration of their medicinal properties was noted. 

What’s incredible is that the resin from both of these trees is used in TCM combinations or herb formulas mainly to unblock the flow of blood, treat traumatic injury and stop pain. They are excellent for abdominal pain during menstruation and for irregular menstruation .  These herbal resins can also be used in combination to help treat amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) and dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation). Furthermore, both can be used externally.  Frankincense is known to ease the tendons and muscles while myrrh is used for non-healing sores such as bed sores.

Boswellic acid is the active substance of frankincense from which several dietary supplements are produced.  Researchers have identified Boswellic acid as a potent anti-inflammatory agent . This acid inhibits the 5-LOX (lipoxygenase) system, which is involved with enzymatic pathways that produce leukotrienes and thrombaxanes (inflammatory molecules) from fatty acids (following all this?).  Drugs that inhibit this pathway are normally used to treat arthritis, asthma and ulcerative colitis.  Boswellic acid, unlike conventional NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen, the accepted treatments for pain and inflammation, does not seem to cause stomach irritation in small doses.  Neither does it cause liver damage like acetaminophen. The anti-inflammatory properties of Boswellic acid are also effective in reducing the aching and stiffness associated with back pain.

Guggulsterone is the active substance within the myrrh resin. After many years of research, guggulsterone, also known as Guggul, has become popular in the United States for its cholesterol-lowering properties. (1) By inhibiting the FXR gene in the nucleus of liver cells, this leads to the more efficient excretion of cholesterol in the liver, thus lowering serum cholesterol levels. Amazing what comes from a scrubby desert tree.

Traditional Chinese Medicine recognizes frankincense and myrrh as blood regulating herbs that complement each other. They invigorate the blood, dispel blood stasis and reduce swelling, relieve pain and promote healing. It is more than coincidence that myrrh is commonly used in TCM for menstrual irregularities and Western medicine research  substantiates guggul’s ability to improve liver functions.  TCM theory emphasizes the importance of liver blood for regular and healthy menstrual function and recognizes stagnate liver blood as a cause of painful periods.

Given the compelling scientific evidence regarding the chemicals in these two herbal resins and the history of frankincense and myrrh, we can be certain of their potent medicinal properties. It certainly is amazing that nature has given us such powerful medicines for menstrual cramps, arthritis, cholesterol and for pain. Nature sure has had a remarkable way of providing for our needs, today and in ancient times.

T´ai Chi, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Massage – Energy Balance Approaches In Chinese Medicine

The idea of energy balance has its basis in medical systems that have been utilized in the Far East for thousands of years. All of these systems assume that there is a subtle nonphysical energy that permeates and circulates throughout the body.

Traditional Chinese medicine calls this “chi”. The terms that best describe this energy in English would be “life force” or “vital energy”. The difference in energy that you feel when you have the flu versus when you are healthy is an example of fluctuations in this type of energy.

In Chinese medicine, subtle energy is understood to be distributed throughout the body along channels called “meridians”. One of the most important functions of all of the energy-balance approaches is to harmonize and optimize the “flow” of subtle energy by releasing blocks to that flow. Blocked energy leads to tension, anxiety, stress, and ultimately illness. In fact, Chinese medicine traces all disease back to various types and degrees of blockage in the flow of vital energy.

Regular practice of energy balance disciplines such as yoga or t´ai chi helps to release blocks to the natural flow of vitality. So does receiving treatments from healing arts that free up obstructions to subtle energy. This is particularly true for acupuncture, but also applies to various forms of massage and chiropractic treatment.

The invisible “energy body”, sometimes called “subtle body”, that is the focus of Eastern medicine is intimately related to the physical body. It´s thought to provide an energetic matrix or “template” for the physical body.

On a strictly physical level, energy balance practices help to relieve muscle tension, promote increased oxygenation of tissues and the brain, improve arterial circulation, promote elimination by the kidneys and colon, and stimulate increased production of hormones and neurotransmitters.

However, the fundamental purpose of the energy balance approaches is to promote mind-body integration a harmonious interdependence and balance among the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical aspects of your total being.

“Wholeness” is e
1000
quated with wellness. To the extent you function in an integrated, whole manner, you can experience the fullness of your being and genuine health. To the extent that you are out of touch with the wholeness of your being, you remain out of harmony with yourself and are subject to stress and disorder, including anxiety.

T´AI CHI

T’ai chi is an ancient form of movement and exercise intended to unite body and mind. It is said to have originated when a thirteenth-century Taoist monk in China watched a serpent and a crane in battle. As the crane attacked the snake, the snake would smoothly move its position, never allowing the crane to touch it. From this scene the monk developed thirteen moves which have been augmented down through the centuries. Presently, t´ai chi is practiced by millions of people in China and is popular throughout the rest of the world.

T´ai chi can best be described as a form of moving meditation. It consists of a series of movements that proceed slowly and gracefully, flowing one into another. These movements strengthen and ground the body while promoting the flow of “chi” or life force. Students say that it teaches qualities of fluidity and grace; qualities that can extend to the way you live your entire life.

Because the movements are done slowly, it also teaches you how to slow down, both in your body and your mind. Like meditation, it helps you to achieve serenity, clarity, and concentration. Unlike meditation, however, it instills an ability to carry mental poise and concentration into movement.

Like yoga, t´ai chi helps you to work through blocks to the flow of your life energy, along with promoting physical benefits such as opening the joints, especially the knees, strengthening the spine and lower back, and massaging the internal organs. Because it´s practiced with your entire body and with full presence of mind, t´ai chi is a very practical and effective way to foster mind-body integration.

You can find t´ai chi classes offered at some health clubs as well as some martial arts schools, though t´ai chi is generally not used as a form of self-defense. If classes are not available in your area, there are several excellent videos that teach the basic movements. Because it promotes the flow of “chi,” the exercise is sometimes prescribed as an adjunct to acupuncture treatments.

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture originated as a healing modality in China about three thousand years ago. Currently it´s practiced in most advanced countries throughout the world. As with t´ai chi, it´s based on the assumption that health is determined by the free and proper flow of chi, the vital or subtle energy that pervades all living things. Chi flows along channels in the body called meridians, each of which is linked to a specific organ.

When the flow of energy is neither restricted nor excessive, the individual enjoys good health. If the energy flow is unbalanced in either direction, both physical and mental symptoms of distress or disease may result. For example, fear is understood to be due to blocked or excessive energy flow along the kidney meridian. Acupuncture treatments that aim to balance the kidney meridian, and other supporting meridians can help to relieve fear fullness.

In an acupuncture treatment, the acupuncturist inserts thin needles at specific points in the body. Most people feel only a slight prick or no pain at all from the procedure. Typically the needles are left in place for twenty to thirty minutes, after which it´s common to feel very relaxed and rejuvenated. Repeated treatments, twice a week for a few weeks, are often needed to correct an ailment such as migraine headaches, allergies or back pain.

If you wish to utilize acupuncture to help anxiety, regular treatments on a weekly or biweekly basis for several months are advised. Often the acupuncturist will provide herbs in the form of teas or capsules to use at home to enhance the effects of the treatments.

For people who are uncomfortable with the use of needles acupressure may be a viable alternative. Acupressure, and its cousin Shiatsu, rely on the same principles as acupuncture. However, energy flow and balance along the meridians is promoted by manual pressure rather than needles. Acupressure is a simple and inexpensive form of energy balance practiced by many massage therapists. In fact, you can utilize acupressure on your own.

CHIROPRACTIC

Most people think of chiropractic as a healing art that aims to relieve back pain induced by stress or injury. At a more basic level, though, chiropractic strives to promote health by optimizing the flow of nerve impulses up and down the spine and to other parts of the body. Because of the various stresses to which the spine is subject, individual vertebrae can move out of alignment.

These misaligned vertebrae block the flow of nerve impulses between the brain and body as well as between the spinal cord and various bodily organs. When nerve transmission to a specific organ is reduced or limited the organ is likely to dysfunction and might produce symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to illness. Misalignments of the spine may be caused by injury, but most frequently they are caused by stress.

Muscles tightened under chronic stress tend to pull the vertebrae out of alignment. Even if the muscle tension is relieved through exercise or massage, the spinal vertebrae may not easily resume their normal configuration. Thus a chiropractor seeks to identify and correct vertebral misalignments in order to promote optimal nervous system function and thereby functional integrity of the body as a whole.

Chiropractic can be a helpful strategy for relieving chronic tension, whether or not accompanied by pain. An occasional visit to a chiropractor is likely to improve your overall experience of well-being. In locating a qualified chiropractor in your area, try to get a referral from a friend or relative. If you prefer not to receive direct manipulations to the spine, there are some chiropractors who practice a nonmanipulative form of adjustment sometimes referred to as “gentle chiropractic”.

MASSAGE

Therapeutic massage is a healing art designed to promote deep relaxation through skillful manipulation of muscles and soft body tissues. Professional massage therapists usually obtain 500-1,000 hours of formal training in anatomy, physiology, and various forms of bodywork including Swedish massage, deep tissue work, reflexology, acupressure, and Shiatsu.

Receiving a one-hour massage every week, or even twice per month, can promote deep relaxation by relieving chronic muscle tension that you may have been holding in your body for a long time. Massage can enhance and deepen the benefits you obtain from practicing progressive muscle relaxation. PMR tends to release acute superficial tension in the outer muscles of your arms, legs, neck, and torso.

Massage, particularly “deep tissue” massage, can undo chronic long-standing tension held in the deeper muscles of the body. In addition to releasing muscle tension, massage can help cleanse your body of toxic accumulations by promoting lymphatic circulation and mobilizing a sluggish colon.

On a more psychological level, receiving a massage is a wonderful way to nurture yourself if you feel stressed. Massage can also provide a corrective emotional experience for survivors of abuse. If you grew up in a dysfunctional family where you either weren´t touched or were touched inappropriately, massage can help you work through any painful feelings or resistance around being touched, increasing your ease with what is an innate need for all human beings.

There are several types of massage to choose from. Swedish massage, developed by Peter Ling in the 1800s, uses kneading, stroking, and shaking to induce the body to relax. This is the most common type of massage practiced. Deep tissue massage involves greater pressure on
1000
deeper muscles than Swedish massage and generally focuses on specific problem areas.

Neuromuscular massage is a form of deep tissue massage that works with specific “trigger points” to release chronically tight muscles. Acupressure, while certainly relaxing, intentionally seeks to promote enhanced energy balance. Through firm pressure applied to specific points for three to ten seconds each, acupressure strives to release blocks to the flow of subtle energy through the acupuncture meridians.

How To Help Your Senior Dog With Acupressure

Even at 12-years old, Sheba had the look of a regal Irish Setter. Her rich, red, silky coat flowed as she pranced. Still sleek and lean, her white face and telltale shorter gate was evidence that she was a healthy example of a senior-dog citizen. Sheba’s naps were getting longer and when getting up and getting going she needed some coaxing.

The ancient eastern healing art of acupressure offers our senior friends a lot of relief from the aches and pains of aging. It is very common for a dog to suffer the same difficulties we do as the years go on. 1000s of year of acupressure has shown that it:

Strengthens the dog’s immune system
Lubricates the joints to improve mobility
Reduces inflammation associated with arthritis
Enhances blood circulation for better overall functioning
Releases endorphins and natural cortisone to relieve pain and increase the dog’s comfort level.

A weekly acupressure session with their favorite human goes a long way to having a healthy, happy older dog. Our senior canines want to do all the great things they use to do in their younger days, we just have to help them feel better doing it.

Acupressure Points to Support Senior Canines
Acupressure has proven to help relieve the pain and stiffness of arthritis as well as many other issues associated with aging. Here is a selection of specific acupressure points that can help your dog.

Stomach 36, the translation of its Chinese name is Leg Three Miles, is used extensively to aid digestion and promote gastrointestinal health while also regulating and tonifying blood and life-force energy. This acupoint is known to enhance the animal’s activity level and assist in the absorption of nutrients.

Gall Bladder 34 is also known as Yang Mound Spring. This acupoint has the attribute of influencing the strength and flexibility of tendons, ligaments, and joints. Additionally, it can reduce atrophy of the older dog’s soft tissues.

Kidney 3, traditionally called Great Stream, brings forth the original essence and energy of the animal which supports the dog’s basic constitution. This acupoint is often used to add essential energy during the winter phase of life.

Acupressure Technique
While lookin
1000
g at the chart, place the soft, fleshy part of the tip of your thumb on the point on one side of your dog. Use about 1 pound of pressure, take care not to poke or hurt the dog. Comfortably rest your other hand of the dog, too. Hold your thumb on the point and count to 30 or watch the dog for evidence of releasing of energy. An energetic release would be licking, yawning, stretching, or passing air. Repeat this procedure on the other side of the dog.

By performing the “Senior Canine” acupressure session every five to seven days, you will be contributing to your elder dog’s health and well-being for all his years – which could be many or more.

Back in the 1950s, about 7.5 hours of sleep a night was the norm for most Americans, according to a USA Today article. These days, the average American sleeps for around 6.5 hours a day, and if you’re a full time student chances are you get even less. So how DO we all function with so much less sleep? That’s a whole night of sleep, missing from our lives each week. Unfortunately, cutting back on sleep seems to have become the norm in our society.

Studies have shown, however, that we need 7-8 hours of sleep a night to be high-functioning during the day. It is a common belief that sleeping in on week-ends will somehow balance out the sleep debt incurred during the week. However, once one starts cutting sleep during the week again, there is a significant effect on alertness, mood, and performance. A study in 1995 found that there is significant sleep loss in 1/3 of American adults. This state of perennial sleepiness has been estimated to cause about 2-56 billion dollars in sleep-related accidents on the road each year, and even more in lost productivity, medical illness, or shortened lifespan secondary to sleepiness or sleep pathology.

Because of both the normal aging process and modern societal pressures to succeed, our hours in the sack are continually sacrificed. People working the graveyard shift tend to accumulate the highest amount of sleepiness, as they are sleeping during a poor circadian time. Furthermore, the advent of electricity has, in some ways, interfered with our natural circadian rhythms. The primary reason is that melatonin, a hormone implicated in helping us fall asleep at night, is only produced in the absence of light. When light hits the retina, a signal is sent via the optic nerve to the pineal gland that causes melatonin production to cease.

With our ability to create artificial light (i.e. computer screens and television), the release of melatonin is delayed until these appliances have been turned off. Melatonin supplements often work to help restore one’s natural circadian rhythm, yet too often this is not enough. For many people, the next alternative for staying asleep is to purchase prescription sleep aids. Although drugs may help, they have a short-term effect which fades rapidly once you stop taking them. This makes it necessary to continually renew your stock of sleep aids, which, monetarily speaking, adds up quickly, and often becomes addicting.

Chinese herbs offer a different kind of solution. Traditional Chinese Medicine has treated the insomnia cycle for hundreds of years. The theory needs explaining first. It is all about a reversal of the energy of our spirits. It’s up at night, in our head stimulating our brain rather than sleeping in our hearts where Chinese medicine believes our spirit is stored and nourished while we sleep. When our heads are thinking too much at night it does not allow the heart to rest.

This type of short-term insomnia problem can be effectively treated using Chinese herbal medicine. Herbal medicine calms the mind, nourishes the blood (the heart), anchors the spirit (figuratively) and allows the heart to settle quietly into a natural sleep. It’s non- addicting, and, after used for a short period of time, acute insomniacs can again return to a normal sleep pattern without the use of herbs. If you have not yet tried Chinese herbal medicine for your sleeplessness, you need to find a good acupuncturist who can help you with the right prescription of herbs which will make all the difference in both your nighttime and daytime hours.

Chinese medicine existed 5,000 years ago. During our emperor’s time, various herbs have been used and tested to bring about the benefit of weight loss. To this day, Chinese herbs or Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) have been popular among those who wish to get remedies, without facing dangerous health consequences. This is because these weight loss herbs are said to be very safe for all consumers.

One of the most well known herbs is Citrus Aurantium. Citrus Aurantium consists of synephrine, which is believed to result in fat burning. This research is done at McGill University. This herb helps to improve the thermo genesis of brown fatty tissue, which refers to the fat that is hardest to burn off. This form of herb is very safe for everyone’s use, unlike ephedra.

Although Ephedra can help in weight loss just like the other herbs, this herb is not highly recommended for weight loss purposes. This is because it can affect the person’s nervous system. Ephedra is usually used for acute health problems like asthma attack. It can cause the person to be even more lethargic and depletes his adrenaline.

Herbs that can boost he metabolic function are herbs that can increase the yang and qi energy of the body. These herbs would refer to ginseng, stractylodes, ginger, eucommian bark, cinnamon and astragalus. Not only that these herbs promote weight loss, they also give you energy boost. To maintain this weight loss, it is advised that one follows on an exercise regimen.

Other than weight loss, these herbs aid in healthy digestion. For those you want to get rid of love handles or weight around the abdominal area, try on these herbs. You can also choose to try on bitter and detoxifying herbs for the same effect of weight loss. Other than that, these Chinese medicines promote healthy digestion, healthy metabolism and healthy mental attitude. There are so many benefits that you can reap simply by taking them!

How these herbs works is by reducing acidic and inflammatory conditions in the body, which tends to trigger cravings that cause people to consume unhealthy food. These herbs are recommended for those with voracious appetites for oily, sweet and spicy food.

There are side effects to these Chinese herbs too, but they are not as serious as that of diet drugs. The side effects include constipation, sweating and sleepiness. If you are facing these side effects, simply cut down your dosage by half. Do take note that these weight loss herbs are not advisable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are having severe weight problem, then these herbs are definitely the answer to you problem.

Sick and tired of trying diet drugs? Give these Chinese medicines a try and you will be surprised at the results that it will offer you.
