Acupuncture &
Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment and is
believed that it exists for atleast 4000years. InPortugal, it isan
increasingly sought-after therapy. Acupuncture has become well
known for solvingmany patients’ problems and of great relevance
for the regulation of the human body. How advanced is this
treatment that has survived only a fewmillennia? Recent research
has high-lightened its effectiveness and close relationship with
another system, such as the neuro vegetative system and fascia.
However, Qi and its mechanism are still unknown to our science
and needs further research. There are many types of acupuncture
and different theories, old classics and new evidence should be
analysed together to expand the knowledge and connect the
past with the present. Our body functions 24 hours a day and
emotions work on the human body as well. Every single moment
you experience emotions, even when you’re sleeping (dreams/
nightmares). Many problems and diseases have a cross pattern
between functional problem and an emotional root cause. Every
single cell of the body reacts to a basic or more complex emotion.
Patient’s physiognomy and complaints give us information about
their lifestyle, emotions andmental balance, thus as in any health-
related science, the clinical history is crucial. Additionally, the
pulse evaluation provides us with unique access to the human
body’s interior, representing in fact, a valuable source for further
comprehension of patient’s diseases and mental health. Hence,
combined acupuncture and emotional approach has been
effective in solving and reversing disease patterns in different
setting of patients. This approach will change human body’s view
and improve root treatment.
