Acupuncture
Acupuncture is Amazing! It boosts energy and regulates all the body systems.
Used as a successful therapy for many illnesses and conditions for over 5000 years. It is probably the most powerful way of stimulating and empowering the immune system and one of the most remarkable systems of healing ever discovered by human beings.
How Does it Work
The body is like a fortress, patrolled by a myriad of troops with various defensive and restorative skills.
The thing this body fears most is the presence of a foreign entity within the castle gates. Any kind of parasite, fungus, bacteria, foreign body or wound is seen as a serious threat, to be annihilated, healed or removed or repaired ASAP.
Any wound however trivial shocks the immune system into action. A thin needle inserted lightly through the skin and into the body interior is the least invasive way to fully initiate this powerful protective response.
The acupuncturist chooses a series of locations on the body surface. When a needle is inserted, brain areas linked to these points are stimulated powerfully. The result is a dramatic awakening of the body’s response mechanisms.
A modern acupuncturist trained under WHO (World Health Organisation) directives, is in good position to know how to achieve the best possible results.
What conditions does acupuncture treat?
Clients frequently seek acupuncture treatment for back pain, headache, migraine and sports injuries.
However, acupuncture provides more than pain relief. At the Merrion Clinic we effectively treat anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, respiratory disorders, disorders of the bones, muscles, joints and nervous system, menstrual problems, tiredness, sinusitis, infertility, weight control, and much more.
Treatment Sessions
Over its 5000-year history, Chinese physicians have determined that the best results are obtained using three treatments weekly. This is due to the immune boost from the treatment peaks over twelve hours after the treatment. Then the effect declines over two days. Each treatment “reminds” the body’s intricate reactive mechanism to take another step forward.
Reviews
It is also customary in traditional medicine to review and redirect the case every three weeks. (In Chinese herbal medicine it may be as little as four days). This coincides with the beginning, middle and end of the liver’s regrowth period. As patients progress, the reviews can be spaced further apart.
