Natural Health Alert: In New Video Natural Health Expert Explains How Needles Can Heal

TORRANCE, Calif. - Oct. 7, 2014 - PRLog -- Today, licensed acupuncturist Abigail Allred, in cooperation with natural supplement company, Sun Chlorella USA, releases a new video explaining the benefits of acupuncture.

Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years, much longer than conventional medicine. Acupuncture is effective, safe, painless, and supported by research. Furthermore – unlike many conventional medical approaches – acupuncture has no side effects.

“Conventional western medicine has its good points . . . but it’s also got its limitations,” points out Allred, who has a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine. “And western medicine’s biggest limitation is the blinders it wears when it comes to other forms of healing. There’s a world of healing wisdom out there. But too often medical researchers, doctors and institutions choose to ignore it, limiting our options when it comes to getting the healthcare we need. One of these ‘alternative’ approaches to medicine is acupuncture.”

Acupuncture continues to provide incredible results for people suffering from a range of health problems. Research has shown acupuncture can:

·         Treat inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and Crohn’s disease.

·         Prevent death from infections like sepsis that kills 25,000 people each year.

·         Stop migraines.

·         Calm dental patients.

·         Help relieve hot flashes.

This list continues to grow as more scientists test acupuncture’s traditional applications and get solid results. In 2010, the British government’s National Institute For Health And Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended it as a course of treatment for many forms of lower back pain. A study published around the same time demonstrated it worked better than conventional treatment for chronic lower back pain.

Even more impressively, for over four decades, Chinese medical teams have combined acupuncture with lower doses of drugs to provide anesthesia for open heart surgery. A recent review of this startling use of acupuncture found the patients who used it in combination with low doses of drugs had quicker recoveries with less chance of infection than patients who used only drugs.

While a growing body of research shows acupuncture is effective in treating health problems, western scientists are still just learning how it works. Brain scans have shown acupuncture turns off certain areas of the brain linked to pain.  Acupuncture also seems to directly impact the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis which governs the stress response and much of the body’s hormonal activity.

“For centuries, eastern practitioners have described acupuncture’s mechanism effectively using technical terms rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM),” explains Allred. “According to TCM, acupuncture helps unblock and redirect the flow of ‘qi’, or life energy, in the body. Qi is the energy that allows our body to work. Qi allows us to move our legs, take a breath and digest our food. By stimulating both the central and peripheral nervous system in a strategic way, acupuncture changes the flow of energy in your body and consequently changes your state of health.”
