Acupuncture and Acupressure

Acupuncture and Acupressure



Old methods practiced in the Orient (ancient China) about 3000 years BC and now not only are present, but even in vogue especially in America and Western Europe.

To understand the great principles underlying these methods we consider several explanations as necessary.

The human body is crossed by some channels to different tracks from those by which blood or lymph circulation (arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels). Energy flow through these channels.

Term energy - Qi is the notion that translation is flow that is difficult to see, invisible, inaccessible stream senses - so it can be seen, not heard, no smell, there is palpable, but is vital for humans.

In other words the flow of Qi is something that is vital energy source.

This Qi energy has several components:

Zone Qi - energy is ancestral, hereditary, passed from generation to generation through genetic program included in the chromosomes.

It depends on the longevity and vitality of the individual, is exhausted over time, the wear process, the aging and compliance or failure depends on the laws of nature.

Wei Qi - is the energy of the body's defense.

Ying Qi - or energy is the energy nutritional maintenance, it spans energy chemical bonds of the compounds present in food - natural connections, set the power of cosmic energy.

Shen Qi - the energy and corresponds psihoinformationala phenomena taking place in the nervous system, being substrate specific mental activity and human brain.

It seems that above all these Qi Qi stands true, unnamed, undefined, which is much more than the sum of (all) people I've known. This is what Christians mean by God.

Returning to the energy that circulates through the body - through channels called meridians - the energy can sometimes welcomed by a blockage caused by external factors - exogenous energy or internal factors - endogenous energies.

Exogenous mention energies: fire (including heat), wind, humidity, dryness, cold, plus:

1. electromagnetic radiation (gamma rays, X rays, solar winds, photon radiation);

2. geomagnetic field;

3. electric fields atmosphere;

4. gravitational fields (planetary, solar, galactic and intergalactic)

5. climate (temperature, barometric pressure, cloudiness and fog.

Lack or excess of one or more leads to imbalance in disease. To release, to ease the meridian energy flow - it can direct this energy arriving at a particular place through doors or windows that meridian. These gates are nothing but points so that practiced acupuncture, acupressure as well.

Acupuncture is a complex method of treatment that requires expertise, extensive documentation, clinical sense, spiritual devotion, moral purity and a lot of love for others.

It requires the correct diagnosis as well as an energetic approach to the perfections of acupuncture points for handling needles.

Acupressure is a simple method of treatment that uses certain acupuncture points where meridians through which energy becomes more superficial - points on which there is pressure digital (fingers are places that enters and exits bio on them having more points, so energy gates).

Prerequisite is knowledge of these points and it can be practiced by a family member, provided they are healthy. There is no doubt in any sense of compassion or love for the sick - in this case.

One thing to remember is the patient's consent, both in approach to confidence, and understanding how anyone who performs acupressure.

Working method:

Proceed to repair points, according to schemes that are available at each of the problems addressed in the paper.

Pressure will be exerted by the forefinger (index) or the thumb of the hand (thumb) where stimulation mention energy because it has more power.

Presopunctor finger will be held inclined at an angle of 45 degrees when we want to be a moderate pressure perpendicular (90 degrees) on the skin surface, if we want a higher pressure.

Skin (skin) that is practiced acupressure to be healthy, no lesions, eczema, etc..

Position the patient must be comfortable, lying or sitting on a chair.

The person who executes all acupressure to choose a comfortable position so that it can practice acupressure with both hands.

Toning is the method used in cases of energy deficit - when the finger presopunctorului can identify a softer, hypotonic, even a small groove in point. Finger revolves clockwise 7-8 sec. Then let dry 3-4. Then resume invirtirea finger pressing and 5-10 minutes in total.

The dispersion (scattering) energy is the practice when she was stuck in one place, blocked the traffic. In this case the skin may feel a reinforcement, thickened skin sensation at the points of acupuncture.

In such situations finger presopunctor revolves clockwise or counterclockwise. Movement must be superficial, soft, sweet and to decrease local tone, skin redness, pain reduction.

Acupressure can be practiced occasionally (on trips, at work) or systematic, in the course of 10-15 sessions (fall and spring), when energy transfer from the sick presopunctor is faster can be reduced to half (7 - 10 sessions).

Contraindicated mentally ill and the heart, not realized the drunk or the weak, tired, exhausted, for which no alternative therapies, acupressure remains a method that is worth a try.
