In the midst of the rapid development of medical science and medical technology, alternative medicine is still in great demand by many people. The reason is that acupuncture is considered more comfortable to do than medical treatment, so it is not surprising that this treatment that has existed for thousands of years still exists amidst the medical treatment innovations that have emerged today.
The existence of acupuncture as an alternative treatment can last until now because acupuncture also innovates following developments in the medical world and continues to create better treatments. One of the innovations made by acupuncture treatment is medical acupuncture which combines traditional acupuncture with the principles of modern medical science.
Maybe you are not familiar and feel confused by the term medical acupuncture. The word acupuncture also seems scary to some people because this treatment involves needles being inserted into certain areas of the body to neutralize toxins and treat disease. Not many people know that the purpose of acupuncture is not only to improve health problems and bodily functions, but also to stimulate the body's ability to heal itself.
The image of a scary acupuncture treatment method makes some people hesitate to try it. Even though this method is quite effective in helping cure health problems because it can trigger the nervous system in the body to release various hormones and chemicals from the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. In the process, these chemical compounds will create changes in the arrangement of organ systems and hormones that affect the body's work. This is believed to increase the body's ability to recover on its own ( self-healing ).
Acupuncture, which is widely known as an alternative treatment for 1001 kinds of diseases, is able to treat various types of health problems, ranging from mild health problems to more serious health problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), acupuncture therapy can be given to people with respiratory problems, such as asthma, sinusitis, and flu. In addition, acupuncture can also be given to people with digestive disorders, such as ulcers, constipation, and diarrhea. Even for systemic and functional disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, allergies, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy and decreased stamina can also be overcome by acupuncture.
In addition to the myriad of benefits above, acupuncture can also be an alternative therapy for sufferers of reproductive system disorders, such as menstrual pain and fertility disorders. Not only that, acupuncture is also believed to be able to be a therapy for physical disorders related to tension due to stress, such as sleep disorders and excessive anxiety.
