Acupuncture points
Acupuncture is referred to as
an ancient therapy used in the treatment of different ailments. But
still, a lot of care has to be taken while performing it. One cannot
pierce needles to any part of the body in the name of acupuncture.
There are a few points where acupuncture can be effectively carried
out. These points need to be identified before commencing the
treatment. The acupuncture
points are the stimulation points present in various arts of the body.
It is believed that these points have direct access to arouse the
imaginary channels called Meridians that leads to the flow of energy.
Each body is estimated to have as much as three hundred and sixty
suitable points for acupuncture. When these points are suitably
stimulated, it causes an interruption in the flow of energy. This gives
rise to an analgesic effect that reduces or even eliminates pain in the
body. This interruption stimulates stronger flow of energy in the body
and heals a variety of diseases. The acupuncture points are categorized
according to their functions. One of these categories is the five
transporting point system. This system explains about the flow of
energy within a body comparing it to rivers that merge into an ocean.
It explains that energy bubbles from a spring, growing in breadth and
depth. The transporting system has 5 points namely, Jing well, Shu
stream, Ying spring, He sea and Jing river. The Jing well refers to the
energy level when it bubbles. These are situated at the tips of the
fingers and toes. The Shu stream refers to the intermittent diseases
causing painful joints and heaviness to the body. The Ying spring
refers to the energy at a point where it glides into the channel and
this represents the body heat and also exhibits the change in the
complexion of a person. He sea points refers to the point where energy
unites deep into the body and is an indication of diarrhea. The Jing
river refers to the points giving indications of cough and cold.
