Top 3 Benefits of Acupuncture
Recently, I revisited acupuncture to address the problems I’ve had, the little imbalances that are manifesting themselves as ailments in my body; a dodgy tummy erupting at anything I eat to the point where I couldn’t eat anything, a twingey knee that has come back with a vengeance since resuming a proper exercise regime at the gym. Now my ailments are irrelevant to the normal reader. I’m sure there are many people with more acute health problems than me.
But here’s the thing with acupuncture. It really works. I’ve tried most forms of alternative healing and therapy. I’ve spent hundreds perhaps thousands of pounds (I’ve lost track) listening to wisened souls at the peak of their alternative therapy career professing how you need to give treatment time to work.
Kinesiologists, holistic nutritionists, homeopaths all pretty much top of their game as hailed by many of the top magazines and leading newspapers – yet I’ve found none have helped at all. Maybe it’s me going in with a sceptical attitude “Okay, let’s see if this works!” – that’s the thought running through my brain, I don’t voice that thought. I smile sweetly at these practitioners but at the back of my mind, the voice of doom is there with it’s sardonic tone: “Are you gonna waste your money again?”
When I stumbled upon Dr. Zhu, purely by accident in an outdated London Evening Standard article listing him as the top acupuncturist in London, I thought to myself I’ve got nothing to lose. The article was old and listed his old charges; £48 an hour. I gulped at the price of the first consultation session – £90. Well inflation, increases in prices, so I suppose it’s justifiable. I convinced myself to get pa
st the high price point and booked a session with an open mind.
In just 3 sessions, Dr Zhu’s miracle acupuncture has solved my dodgy tummy and sorted my twingey knee and of course I’ve got a long term health problem to work through, an underactive thyroid which Dr Zhu terms a lazy thyroid and he confidently says he’s able to get it back in fully working order, he’s done so in the past with other patients and had a very good success rate.
So the main benefits of acupuncture are:
- Anything from neck pain to irritable bowel syndrome to stress, depression and infertility are very effectively treated by acupuncture. Don’t stress about the pain of acupuncture if you’re a needle phobe. Acupuncture does not hurt. At worst, you’ll feel a tiny pinch but this is it. When you feel this, it means certain meridians in your affected areas are blocked and the Ch’i energy needs to be released.
- Unlike many other forms of alternative healing; reiki, kinesiology, homeopathy are some perfect examples, with acupuncture you notice tangible relief almost straight away or shortly after treatment if you go to a good acupuncture doctor. Make sure you go to one who doesn’t just put pins all over your body. The key to acupuncture is for the doctor to insert pins into the key meridian points. Most people have images of pins being inserted all over the body, this is not always right.
- Acupuncture is not totally down to the placebo effect. Researchers at University College London and Southamptom University separated out this placebo effect, analysed patients’ results and found there is different brain activity when the volunteers were under acupuncture.
