A note about Advantages and Disadvantages of Acupuncture

In natural health and healing, we believe in holistic health and healing, as we realize that different parts of the human body are highly interlinked, often beyond Man's understanding. We also believe that the body has the ability to heal itself of any disease, even supposedly incurable diseases.

In order to do so, the body needs the support of some basic dietary and lifestyle good health habits, such as a full body detox and a proper understanding and application of nutrition. Taking these fundamental health steps will greatly magnify the effects and benefits of any of our health-promoting efforts, including the use of certain holistic remedies.

  • Acupuncture is a non-invasive treatment.

  • Almost all patients or people in discomfort can undergo acupuncture treatment.

  • Acupuncture provides relief from both physical and mental problems.

  • Acupuncture treats problems by examining the entire human body and its relation to the environment in an attempt to eliminate the cause and not just the symptoms.

  • Acupuncture is one of the most natural forms of alternative medicine during which endorphins are released into the blood stream in order to achieve maximum pain relief. Endorphins are the human body’s natural pain-control mechanism employed by the central nervous system. Therefore acupuncture works at reducing pain naturally which is much better in comparison to pain medication.

  • Acupuncture employs what is referred to as the gate theory in decreasing aches and pain. During acupuncture, the nerves in the spinal cord are stimulated, which in turn facilitate release of certain pain-reduction neurotransmitters. Again, this is the human body’s natural and drug-free pain relief mechanism.

  • Acupuncture might be responsible for increase blood flow due to the insertion of needles, thereby resulting in increased supply of essential nutrients to the affected area. This could also help remove toxins and facilitate healing.

    • On the flip side, the negative side of the advantages and disadvantages of acupuncture treatment include:

  • There is no treatment or cure for damaged body parts in acupuncture especially broken bones.

  • While acupuncture can eliminate the cause of certain diseases and provide relief from pain, it might not be able to detect certain other disease conditions that are prevalent.

  • Acupuncture might not be advisable for patients suffering from certain bleeding disorder and for patients on blood thinners.

  • Patients could experience a little amount of soreness post treatment.

  • If needles used are not sterile or are reused, it could result in patients suffering from infectious disease.

    • These are some of the common advantages and disadvantages of acupuncture treatment; however, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages!
