Acupuncture

The acupuncture is a branch of the traditional Chinese medicine, which was already practised in remote epochs. It consists of the introduction of metallic needles or of the stimulation for diverse methods and tools of the Chinese points, placed in certain and precise places. These points are joined between by means of lines: there are the meridians. These are conductive vessels of energy, which the Chinese call chi. The points are like knots along conduits along which the energy circulates or chi. This one energy is composed by two equal and opposite forces: inn and iang (or blood and energy), that are mixed in exact proportions, but variables as the meridian or the region of the body. If this proportion falters, the illness takes place. The health is the energy balance, the illness the imbalance. With the acupuncture the energy is harmonized and balanced.
Although it accepts that the acupuncture has at least four milleniums of existence, there are no direct tests that endorse it. In the Nei-Ching there is mentioned the emperor Hoang - Ti, that would have existed twenty-seven centuries before Christ, and that would be the author of an edict who says this way: "Lamentation that my peoples stopped by the illnesses, do not pay to me in species and in work. I wish it one not to give them any more poisonous remedies, for error of dosage, and them not to use any more the ancient punches of stone. I wish them to use only the thin needles of metal destined to harmonize the blood and the energy".
The acupuncture has developed and spread in Occident to an every time major rhythm for several motives: the big efficacy in the majority of the functional complaints and injure in someone, his harmlessness, the therapeutic poverty of the western medicine opposite to the functional illnes, etc.
