Why Acupuncture Can Help Me?

There are many questions that my patients ask me every day, and the common question are why acupuncture can help me and what does acupuncture do? Now I would like to use simple way to make explanation acupuncture theory.

First of all, you can imagine that your body likes a country, and there are many important roads go through your body, from your head to feet, from your head to hands or from chest to feet and so on. In the Chinese Medicine, these roads are known as meridians. Secondly, there are a lot of cars running on these driveways, and these cars are known as chi. When our body is balance, the chi can go really smoothly and gently, and that means our body basically is okay. This is the basic theory of Traditional Chines Medicine Physiological (T.C.M. Physiological).

Now you can imagine that one of these roads is blocked by a really huge rock, and cars are not able to go through. Therefore, many cars would be forced to stop and the car drivers would feel anger, because they cannot do their jobs. The anger from these car drivers is like pain. It is the Pathology of T.C.M.

At this time, the car drivers would really hope that someone can help them to finish their jobs. Needles are playing as police officers. Needles put into specific points likes I send police officers to the scene of the accident to deal with incident. When the police officers come to the accident, the first thing they would do is calming down these car drivers. That is why after acupuncture, you would feel pain relief. The police officers can only regulate traffic, but not remove the rock. They need tow cars help them to clean the rock, and the tow cars are worm water. So after acupuncture, I would ask my patients to drink a lot of warm water.
