Acupuncture A Traditional Medical Practice

• Chinese traditional medical practices explain the
  results of acupuncture as a harmonious balance of
  extremes yang and yin of the life force which
  is known as qi. This illness is caused by the
  imbalance of the forces. These energies and
  meridians flows are accessible through more than
  300 acupuncture points in the human body.
  Inserting the needles into these points with
  suitable combinations which can bring the flow of
  energy back to the proper balance. There is no
  scientific proof that acupuncture points exist
  but many studies suggest that this practice is
  effective for some conditions. Some of the
  experts have used the science behind the nervous
  system to explain acupuncture. The points of the
  acupuncture covered those areas where muscles,
  nerves, and connective tissues can be motivated.
  This motivation will increase the flow of blood,
  while at the same time triggering the activity of
  the natural painkillers of the body.
• Because of the invasive nature of acupuncture, it
  is difficult to set up the investigation using
  the scientific control. Some of the studies have
  claimed that acupuncture provides the same
  benefits as placebo which is a clinical practice,
  but others have claimed that there are many
  benefits of acupuncture.

  reducing the debilitating and painful effects of
  arthritis. Inserting the needles in the meridians

  released during stress and to block the receptors
