What is acupuncture

Acupuncture is a therapy that consists in applying several needles on certain pressure points of the body, as well as using suction cups and even seeds in their patients. It aims to promote the patient's health in addition to preventing and treating diseases, relieve stress and some pain, and also improve or restore the balance of the body, in general aims to promote the quality oflife.

Acupuncture is based on the idea that the human body is composed of energy, which accumulates in some specific regions, regions that are called meridians. The imbalance of the energy point of these regions ends up causing body pain, fatigue and weakness. Therefore, the goal of acupuncture is to restore the balance of the body and facilitate the circulation of energy.

Where are the acupuncture points

Acupuncture points are spread all over the body, from head to toe. To be more precise, they are located in regions known as meridians, which according to acupuncture ideals, are channels where the flow of energy occurs.

What are their types

Acupuncture has several types, we will talk here about the most popular types, such as classical acupuncture. This acupuncture is a more traditional and systemic technique that consists of inserting fine needles at different levels of skin depth, aiming to stimulate these pressure points so that there is the best flow of energy through the body.

Another type of acupuncture is electroacupuncture that consists in stimulating the acupuncture needles via electrical impulses, and has the strong point of promoting results with longer duration due to its high intensity.

And finally, we will talk about one of the most popular acupunctures, acupuncture auricular. This technique focuses on the stimulation of energy points of the ear.
