Acupuncture is a form of natural therapy from China where it has been in use for thousands of years before making its way into other parts of the world. It is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that believes that the human body has energy called ‘qi’ that maintains its general health and overall wellbeing. Any imbalance in this energy causes illness, and hence acupuncture completely focuses on maintaining the balance of ‘qi’ with the help of the needles. Discussed below are some of the facts about best acupuncture in Houston.

How does it work?

In Chinese medicine, illness is not treated based on the symptoms of specific body parts but the body as a whole. Needles are punctured on the specific points on the skin which are called ‘meridian’. It is believed that ‘qi’ flows through these channels and the imbalance is corrected with the help of the needles. Though modern medicine also believes that the meridians which are also referred to as acupuncture points stimulate the specific nerves that send a signal to the brain to heal that part of the body. This is the reason why there is an increase in the number of people opting for acupuncture as a complementary and alternative therapy to conventional medicine.

Things to know before beginning the acupuncture therapy

The questions are about the eating and sleeping patterns, stress exposure, emotional and sexual orientation, general temperament, bowel movements, and the daily life routine.
