The Use of Needles and its Health Benefits

-

Depending solely on the modern chemical medicines is not enough in today's times. Finding and practicing alternative medicine is becoming vital day by day. Fortunately, medical science has evolved a lot in the past few years to make alternative medicines a reality.


What is acupuncture?


It is the process of stimulating certain points along the surface of the body with the help of piercing of needles. It's a therapeutic method that has been practiced for thousands of years and passed on for generations. Needless to say, it is one of the oldest and traditional treatment method in the world. This approach has been part of several researches to find the exact origins of its approach, but no conclusive data have been obtained as of now. However, the consensus is that acupuncture originated from ancient China.


There are several institutes these days who are offering this process to its clients throughout the years and will continue to do so the future. People need to realise that it's great to be treated in a more holistic and traditional way without the use of any unnecessary chemicals. It's been scientifically proven that this ancient medical therapy helps alleviate severe pain to a great extent.


Misconceptions


Some people have the misconception that acupuncture is a very painful process and as a result, many have reservations before opting for it. To be more specific, it's an old wives tale that the insertion of needles in your skins is very excruciating, but in reality, patients hardly notice any pain.


Even babies have been treated and they hardly ever notice the needle insertions. But it's imperative to ensure that under any circumstances, needles are not reused on other patients so that the scope of any infection or contamination is scarce. Diseases and their symptoms vary from person to person and so is their cure which is why extensive scrutiny on the patients is necessary to know more about their illness and provide treatments specialised for them.


Some of the benefits which are derived from this process are:-


• Increased blood circulation.


• Decreased inflammation.


• Relief from Pain.


• Relief from muscle spasm.


• Increase in T-cell count.


• Improvement of the immune system.


Patients who are suffering from chronic diseases or pains can better prepare their bodies to self-heal with the help of this process. Moreover, after several researches, it has been proved that this is a realistic solution for the HIV-infected patients to minimise any pains or discomfort in their bodies. Needless to say, there are several health benefits of this holistic treatment; you've got to try it for yourself to reap its rewards.

Was He In Error?

A Prescriber writing a prescription In my early years of practice, about a decade ago, I had an experience that taught me that it is unwise to follow the path of assumptions. Never assume to know something that you do not or a concept that you are not clear with. Doing this can lead to grave consequences. I was working an evening shift in a retail pharmacy when a client came in with a prescription on which was written the order: - Tabs Amovine i bd X 1/52. Amovine (or Amovin as it is correctly written), is a brand of anti-infective medication by Evans Therapeutics, containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, used for the treatment of bacterial infections. Upon receipt of the prescription, I was not sure what to make of it, but then, I was inclined to interpret the order as follows: - Tabs Avomine i bd X 1/52, all thanks to the style at which prescribers write prescription orders. Amovine is a brand of antihistamine containing Promethazine which is used mainly for the management of nau

Child Care during the Common Viral Infections Cold and flu are the two most common viral infections affecting children. Unfortunately there isn't any cure for common cold and influenza since most antibiotics doesn't have any effect on these viruses. Antibiotics are only indicated for secondary bacterial infections. As a parent the best you can do is make your baby feel comfortable by ensuring they get enough rest and drink plenty of fluids. How can this be achieved? Relieving A Stuffy Nose • For infants a rubber suction bulb can be used for sucking drainage from the nasal passages. Your child will breathe a lot more freely when the clogged mucus is sucked out from the nose. • Using 1-2 saline drops (saltwater) for each nostril greatly helps in alleviating congested nose. • Place a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in the room of your kid to keep their nasal secretion from drying up. The humidifier would provide the extra moisture which would make your baby more comfo
