What is holistic treatment?
The fundamental principle of holistic treatment is to approach a person as an integrated whole - in mind, body and spirit and to remedy the root cause of illness, not only the symptoms. It promotes prevention and wellness instead of quick fix, it attempts to correct core imbalances and address contributing factors. Holistic Medicine follows 10 main principles.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing therapy that originated in China over 2,500 years ago. By inserting very fine, sterile and disposable needles painlessly just below the skin surface along the body practitioner stimulates some 360 active points in order to harmonize body's natural energy. Points are organized into a complex network of meridians responsible for certain organs and bodily functions. Acupuncture treatment for every conditions requires a unique combination of points on multiple meridians that need stimulation or suppression to promote the balance. Western medicine’s view is that the placement of acupuncture needles at specific pain points releases endorphins and opioids, the body’s natural painkillers and stress reducers. It, also, decreases cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for weight gain. Additionally, research showed raised levels of immune system cells as well as neurotransmitters and neurohormones in the brain. Glucose and other bloodstream chemicals become normalized after acupuncture.
