Acupuncture and Moxibustion is a tradition of medicine that has been in continuous use in China for several thousands of years. One of it’s distinguishing feature is that it uses a diagnostic and treatment approach known as “Using the external to treat the Internal”. In normal circumstances, the body is efficient in ensuring a smooth supply of blood and nutrients to all body tissues, internal organs and cells, which is the basis for both life and good health. In Chinese Medicine terms this can be understood as maintaining equilibrium between Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang.
When this equilibrium is disturbed, disease can develop. There may be blockages or a stagnant flow of Qi in the energy pathways of our body, resulting in a sense of lethargy or emptiness, or more tangibly, obstruction of the flow of Blood through our arteries, veins, blood vessels and capillaries. Furthermore, in severe illness, our organ systems may be impacted, and manifest in symptoms that Western Medicine will retroactively diagnose and prescribe medicine to substitute for what the body is not now able to do.
The treatment approach of Acupuncture and Moxibustion is known as “dredging the Qi and Blood” in case of stagnation, “Regulating Yin and Yang” in cases of deficient functioning or conversely hyperfunction, and locating and alleviating the source of illness rather than just treating symptoms.
In Clinical Medicine, the “Four Diagnostic methods” of Palpation, Questioning, Smelling and Observation, are used to identify and classify disease, as well as understand the organ systems, energy channels and body substances involved. Together, this information is used to prescribe the disease and treat the patient. Treatment approaches include: Unblocking the energy Channels, Adjusting Qi and Blood, Balancing Yin and Yang, as well as harmonizing the Internal Organs. As a result the patient can be brought back to a state of health.
The use of acupuncture for beauty is one of the important beauty methods. It is easy to operate, safe and reliable without any side effects, so it is generally well received by most people. Cosmetic Acupuncture therapy is the use of acupuncture and moxibustion to nourish the viscera, reduce swelling and dissipate knots, and regulate the body, so as to reduce or eliminate certain physiological or pathological diseases that affect the appearance, and thus achieve physical fitness . It is a way to improve overall health and slow the signs of ageing, and beautify the face. Cosmetic Acupuncture includes the use of both acupuncture and moxibustion. Among them, the acupuncture method uses thin medical grade stainless steel needles to pierce the superficial layer of the skin, together with manual methods to stimulate blood flow and achieve the purpose of beauty and fitness.
Moxibustion is the use of “moxa” sticks and other natural herbal medicines on acupuncture points to promote a natural healing response from our body. Through the penetration of the medicines and local warming effect, the body will produce various physiological reactions, so as to achieve the purpose of beauty, anti-aging and health maintenance.
Chinese medicine believes that the external appearance is only a part of the whole of the human body. and that overall health will have close ties to external appearance. Only when the internal organ functions are normal and our energy is strong, can the Springtime of life be prolonged. Therefore, in order to achieve external beauty, we should focus on nourishing the internal organs and regulating the meridians of energy. . Cosmetic Acupuncture is based on this overall concept , nourishing the internal organs, keeping the body healthy, and making overall health and beauty complement each other.
CUPPING
