1.How does acupuncture work?
In Acupuncture and TCM theory, some problems
are caused by the blockage of meridian channels. Acupuncture
can stimulate the meridian points to re-open the channels
so that the body can correct its problems.
Some modern scientific research has also proved that acupuncture
can also adjust the functions of systems in the body to improve
its ability to fight diseases.
2.How does Chinese medicine work?
In TCM theory, it is most important that the body keeps
Yin and Yang forces; Qi energy flow; blood and fluid flow
in balance – otherwise problems occur.
Chinese herbal medicine is about achieving a balance throughout
the body – balancing the Qi energy flow, blood and fluid flow
and Yin and Yang opposites.
3.Are there any side effects from acupuncture?
No side effects have been found so far.
4.Are there any side effects from herbal
medicine?
As long as the formula and dose of Chinese herbal medicine
suit the condition of the body, Chinese herbal medicine should
not cause any serious side effects.
5.How many treatments do I need to
have?
There is no defined time for treatments. They really
depend on the problem and condition of the body. In general,
for most cases, such as stiff neck, lower back pain, colds,
insomnia, migraine and period pains, an improvement can be
felt after three to five acupuncture treatments or Chinese
herbal medicine treatment.
6.Do I have to have a combination of
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine?
It depends on the problem. In some cases, for those who have
degenerative problems such as joint pain, fresh soft tissue
injury, period problems, insomnia and chronic fatigue, it
is necessary to have a combination of acupuncture and Chinese
herbal medicine in order to achieve a rapid recovery.
7.Can I have regular Acupuncture or
Chinese herbal tea to maintain bodily wellbeing without having
a medical illness?
Certainly, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine
are good at keeping the body in tune.
8.Does the acupuncture hurt?
Generally, it doesn't hurt as long as the patient is
relaxed. However, it depends on the certain part of body.
Sometimes the process feels more like something biting you
than the pain of a syringe.
