Look after your Body with Chinese Acupuncture
Acupuncture is used in many areas in the World as a non-standard medicine for helping to treat a multiplicity of health questions related to the overall body and mental conditions. It all evolved many years ago in China and was used to treat many ailments by using stone knives and there were no trigger points to follow. Nowadays, it is used by inserting needles into key areas of the body called trigger points. An acupuncture treatment could take up to several weeks or even months to manage to help the patient.
It is in recognition of this Chinese treatment that acupuncturists can release chi, the source of energy in the body, and through the needles placed at known trigger points they can fight against the conflicting forces of yin and yang. Thus chi can flow freely through the passageways of the body which are also referred to as meridians. As long as the chi flows freely, the body remains healthy; the problem becomes prevalent when there are one or more obstructions along these passage ways or meridians and that’s when the body starts to get problems.
Most of us are aware of fasting and understand what it means, but very few have experienced it and the health benefits it can provide.
We are not advising you to do a fast - that is up to you . We are just supplying you information gleaned from some experiences on this theme to encourage you to research this and make your own fact-based decisions.
Most of us have heard of fasting in religious or spiritual ways. People in ancient times fasted to clear their thought process and search for inspiration and more understanding on vital life issues and many people who do fast report feeling more in touch with God and further removed from the physical reality. However, one should be well-versed and have a strong goal — mental attitude is half the battle.
The addition of fats in your diet is vital if you want to enjoy a happy lifestyle that results in feeling and looking great, but it must be the recommended kind of fats. Essential fatty acids fall within this grouping and are a necessary addition to everyone’s diet.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids are made up of two components: DHA (which stands for docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
The best supplier of DHA and EPA are fish, especially salmon, seaweed, shellfish and algae. Furthermore, you can get omega-3’s from unaltered whole grains, dark & leafy greens and some nuts and seeds like walnuts, flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds.
This second type contains ALA (alpha linolenic acid) which your body then converts to EPA and DHA.
