The general benefits of Acupuncture like pain management, boosting immunity, improving sleep, and stress management are commonly available to everyone via the internet media. One of the biggest misconceptions of the human community regarding Acupuncture is that it is mainly applied for only pain management. But in reality, there is an entire subject which explains human physiology & working principles of the human body in conjunction with Acupuncture & its logical applications.
Nature has very beautifully designed the human body in parallel conjunction with its own self. Just like how a pleasant environment is appreciated as the one in which both rain & sunlight falls down equally, chills & heat waves arrive equally, the human body also remains healthy only when there is proper balance between the body’s internal heat & coldness. Excess internal heat leads to shrinking of organs just like how tree leaves dry off due to scorching heat & excess cooling leads to the swelling of organs just like how excess water to plants leads to its decay. In short, the human body is nothing but a smaller version of mother nature. Therefore, the principles of nature will parallelly work for the human body as well. Acupuncture physiology explains the bodily functions in the similar pattern.
According to acupuncture physiology, our entire body is made up of 5 elements (Panchamahabhutas). Each organ is associated with a particular element. Our whole-body functions lively only when there is an abundant supply of cosmic energy (Prana, Vayu, Shakti or vital life force) through these 5 elemental energy channels. The uninterrupted flow of energy to every organ from these 5 elements ensures their proper functioning. Both excess & deficient energy supply leads to imbalance in the functioning of the organs. The Condition of every organ (both structural & functional) can be identified through diagnosing the patient’s pulse.
Ancient Indian method of pulse diagnosis using the Panchamahabhuta theory embarks a crucial junction to come towards the final diagnosis of a patient’s condition from its root cause. Based on the information obtained from the pulse diagnosis, the acu-points are selected & are triggered by the insertion of small & fine needles. It is believed that these acu-points act as doors & windows between our physical body & nature. When these doors are opened, excess energy is sent away & in case of deficiency, the required amount of energy is received inwards which results in proper balance & harmony between the organs which brings back the human body to its optimum health condition.
All the health conditions are addressed by applying the same principle – starting from basic common cold, UTI, migraine, gastric ulcers, insomnia, joint pain, ADHD, PCOD, hair fall, disc prolapse & going up to severe issues like alopecia, liver cirrhosis which needs liver transplantation, tumours, heart blockages and more complexities which are usually treated by surgical interventions.
Cases like blindness, deafness, diabetes, hypothyroidism, paralysis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, motor neuron disease, which are told not to have permanent cure lifelong are also tackled by administering acupuncture, after which the patients lead a healthy, drug-free life. Chronic psychological issues, autoimmune conditions like Rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis for which the only treatment is lifelong medications are also being healed by classical acupuncture.
In general, any condition from head to toe that is causing suffering to the human body can be intervened successfully by pulse diagnosis & classical acupuncture without any internal medications & side effects.
