If you’re recovering from or struggling with a health problem your body’s natural self-healing mechanisms haven’t been able to do their job. Sometimes just a little help is needed. Most people seek out Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine after being disappointed with the results of medications and other treatments. However it is also very beneficial as a preventive preventative modus. ​That’s what makes Acupuncture and Chinese herbs so powerful. They work by assisting your body’s self-healing mechanisms and correcting biochemical imbalances. Treatment with acupuncture and Oriental medicine is your best choice. Here’s why:

 

1. It’s natural - All healing is done by the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Even the greatest surgeon can’t heal the smallest cut. Only the body can do that.

 

2. It works with your body, not against it - Your body’s self-healing mechanisms are even more miraculous than modern medicine. Most modern medical drugs work by preventing symptoms instead of helping to bring your self-healing abilities to the front. Often these symptoms (such as fever, inflammation, etc.) are actually your body’s attempt to heal itself. Blocking these symptoms can give temporary relief.

 

3. Side effects are minimal or non-existent -Experts agree, all drugs have side effects. Eli Lilly, Founder of the Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company, once said, “A drug without side effects is no drug at all”. Also, according to Dr. Janet Woodcock, Director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research: "All drugs have side effects, and even the safest approved drugs have side effects”. Unfortunately the newest drugs are also the most dangerous, as their side effects are still being discovered. “51% of approved drugs have adverse side effects not detected prior to approval.” (Source: Clinical Pharmacology: Basic Principles in Therapuetics (3rd edition). Instead of the unbalancing effects of drugs, acupuncture and Chinese herbs work with the body’s systems to bring them back into balance. This means that side effects are minimal or non-existent, and never life-threatening.

 

4. It’s safe - Visiting an acupuncturist is at least as safe as visiting your doctor. ​

 

5. It is outstanding for chronic conditions - Modern medicine is exceptional at acute conditions - health problems needing immediate attention, such as infections, broken bones, trauma, and anything requiring surgery. It’s not as good at chronic conditions - health conditions that just don’t go away on their own. These persistent conditions are where Acupuncture and Oriental medicine is especially effective.
