Explain nearly working principle of acupuncture ?
Answers: I'll try to give the most accurate and understandable answer I can minus letting it be too long.
Unforunately, the entire field is so misunderstood that most of people out within commenting on it don't really understand the concepts and there's a lot of conflicting information on it.
First bad, the chinese believe a human being is composed of a series of ascending systems or energy bodies, next to each successive system being a better system binding those one below it, being harder to detect than that before, and have the power to effect all below it, especially that nearest.
The first body is referred to as the physical on, and all direct factor of health reside here (which shouldn't be too hard to understand). Since Chinese prescription is primarily concerned with treating someone's health, given the rules I freshly described most of their work thus works on the body directly above it (the Chi body). There are plenty of exception, but they are outside the scope of this explanation, generally things beyond this are instead chunk of meditation.
For most conditions, Chinese medicine essentially believes that if you have problems contained by your Chi body, it translates to problems in your physical health, so the best approach to treating disease is to fix the Chi. Unfortunately, Chi is impossible to detect currently near scientific devices, and most people denial the sensitivity to do so, so many of these viewpoints intrinsically clash beside western science. Although, many other cultures have come up next to similar conclusions to the Chinese.
Problems with Chi tend to be broken into two types.
1) There is too much or too little. This can be perfectly analogized to someone man too hot or cold, either way their physiology have problems. This is why balancing yin and yang and returning the body to homeostasis is essentially the concept behind most Chinese pills.
2) The chi is stuck and cannot flow through the body.
There are many many abundant ways to affect chi in the body (ie. herbs are prescribed for how they metamorphosis the bodies energy rather than alive ingredients). One of these is accupuncture.
Most of the energy within someones Chi body moves along path and channels in the body, commonly referred to as meridian lines (often analogized to a web of blood vessels for energy instead of something physical). Different meridian lines connect to the body or meridian lines, and hold different effects on the physical body they lie above. If a meridian line is stimulated within the correct place, it will in turn affect many of the things it's allied to and cause some change within the patient. Since people are adjectives born with very similar meridian queue positioning, by having charts drawn up with meridian lines to be memorized, it make it possible for people lacking the aptitude to feel them to be able to know where on earth to find them.
The only remaining question is "how does the acupuncturist know how to fix the meridian lines to create the desired health effect."
There quite a few accupuncture systems existing, although the simplest one (TCM) is by far the most adjectives. TCM evaluates the patient for Yin/Yang imbalances within a few common categories, along next to specific problems to organ systems (which often extend beyond the physical organ they are named after), and consequently use methods they are taught to boost or reduce flow to malfunctioning parts. Exactly how you do this vary case by case and requires a few years of training to explain, but when this is adjectives put together it means
A TCM doctor sees you and notice a few of the TCM diagnostic criteria are incorrect (or links the problems you described to common Chi body malfunctions).
He then picks the points he know will stimulate the meridian lines/Chi body to fix the problems, and puts needles in where he think the points- are on your body.
For certain energetic problems, herb work much better than accupuncture (especially long term things and changes the bodies actual animation, accupuncture works best for problems arising from meridian lines being blocked).
I'm actually not a follower of TCM because I think there's way better version, but that's what 95% of the country knows.
Hope that helps, if you'd approaching to know more about any specific branch of Chinese Medicine I'd be happy to share you!
The Chinese have mapped the agency the energy flows around the body. We all know how the blood flows because it can be see and traced in an autopsy. Mapping the energy be a much greater feat. They call the sparkle Qi (pronounced chee in China) and found that it travels around the body in 12 key channels, one spilling into the next and into the subsequent in a closed circuit. There are also smaller, capillary vessels to pass the qi to every cell in the body. When the qi is flowing well, the body is surrounded by a natural state of good health- within should be no pain, organs should function properly, sleep should be appropriate and restful, etc. For a variety of reason, however, the flow of Qi can become obstructed. Then it is like a river that has be dammed. Where there be once clear flowing water, the dam cause it to back up and it can become murky and turbid. Also, downstream, there is a dearth of the nourishing water. Acupuncture can be thought of as clearing the dam in the body and helping restore normal functioning. It can also be thought of as a circuit board: by intellectual capacity how the body is wired, we can use the needles to "throw switches" and redirect the flow of qi in the body, again restoring stability.
While it may sound esoteric and hooky-spooky, it works. Belief in the system is surplus to requirements to experience the benefits. Veterinary acupuncture shows that even the most skeptical animals improve with acupuncture.
Basic working principles of acupuncture are these: The Chinese protract there is a life vigour in all living beings they call for ch'i. They further state this energy runs into, throughout and out of the body through pathways call meridians. They state there can be blockages in this duration force energy that impede the proper and full-functioning of the body, the person, the healing/life-giving force(s), and the proper functioning of the organs. They state at hand are, I believe, 14 organ pairs in the body, one yin and one yang, so as set of examples, lungs and large intestine are paired (Metal energy), liver/gall bladder are paired (Wood energy), spleen/pancreas/stomach (stomach surrounded by some systems--Earth energy) are paired, kidney/bladder/adrenal/sexual organs (Water energy) are paired. There is also a Fire pairing which if memory serves is heart/small intestine. In this system there are also other energetic vessels/organs most eminently heart governor, and triple heater which are not found in Western anatomy, and may be see as more metaphorical or conceptual, than they can be as actual organs. This is not to say the Chinese are wrong, or that the system is false because these organs cannot be found in a disected body, but that the Chinese viewpoint the body and its energy receptacles and bodies completely differently than do Western doctors. The function of acupuncture next, is to remove blockages, to enhance flow, to drain and dry areas that are too wet, to decrease excess weave as needed, to cool areas that are too hot, to warm and rebalance areas that are too cold, basically to create better symmetry and flow of energy. Seems pretty logical and pretty intelligent to me, so I don't know what all the fuss is give or take a few. The interrelationship of exactly how fertility and acupuncture relate is not completely clear. Most acupuncture experts now are of the opinion that acupuncture works by doing very well overall body functions by increasing blood flow to the genital organs and maintaining blood hormone levels.
