Acupuncture is considered as the best alternative of medication treatment, in this treatment, the doctors insert needles in the patient’s body on some specific points. The specific way of inserting needles into the body is one of the key objective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Traditional Chinese Medication treatments do not base on scientific knowledge, even the practices of the treatment are also not based on the scientific knowledge, and this treatment is completely a pseudoscience. There are a vast number of acupuncture theories exist which generally based on different classical Chinese philosophies and also each and every technique or method of treating people with the help of this treatment is completely suggested by the area or country, not by the situation of the patient or its disease.

How does Acupuncture Treatments work?
The doctors of acupuncture work on the body of the patient and create those tissues in the body which makes it heal with its inner abilities by motivating some anatomic points of the body and on the acupuncture points or on the acupoints of the body they insert needles to give instant relief to the patient. Inserting needles into the skin of the patient is one of the most common technique to stimulate acupoints by itself. Electrical, pressure or heat spur has the ability to show its effects on the spot or you can say that these are being used to give instant relief. Except inserting needles into the patient’s skin there a many other methods by which patient is treated and all of these treatments belongs to the field of acupuncture such as, cupping, heat therapy, manual massage, moxibustion and also the method in which a person apply topical herbal medicines and linaments onto the patient’s skin.
The complete Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has based on a prehistoric Chinese philosophy that describes the human body relation with this universe. This philosophy tells all its bases in terms of two opposite force such as yin and yang. The theory says that when both of these forces yin and yang will work in balance, the human body will also work healthy. Energy in the human body called as qi in Chinese and it pronounced as chee and the track on which energy flows in throughout the body is known as meridians. The stable flow of energy in the body will also maintain both the opposite forces yin and yang in a balance. Even whenever the flow of the energy in the human body distort such as if water stuck in the water tank of our home than the whole house members have to face the problems. Same is the case with our body whenever our body faces any kind of energy distortion in the result the whole body has to face the illness, pain, and functions of the body do not work properly.
Acupuncture treatment has the ability to boost muscles and create energy and if there is any kind of energy blockage in the body than this treatment release all kind of blocked qi from the body and also it improves the ability of the body from which it will heal itself with the help of many psychological techniques.
