The acupuncture needles are usually left in place for between five and fifteen minutes. Obviously, this takes some considerable time and practice to learn. Electroacupuncture has been found to be particularly helpful when treating neuromuscular problems. The acupuncturist inserts the needles into a combination of points along the meridians which will depend on the particular problem that the patient has.

Again, depending who you believe, there can be 365 of these acupuncture points or as many as 2,000. Acupuncture uses very fine needles which are inserted into the skin to a depth of perhaps ½ an inch into what are known as acupuncture points along the meridians.

However, when practiced by a licenced, trained acupuncturist, the method is extremely safe. Most people may feel slight pain as they are inserted, but nothing that is severe. However, for people with needle phobia the acupuncture points may be treated with acupressure which is the use of fingers to apply pressure to the point.

When the qi is flowing freely through these meridians which run from the skin to all the major organs, yin and yang are in balance and the body is healthy. According to TCM there are twelve (or some say fourteen) meridians, or channels, in the body through which run qi, which is simply energy. It is when yin and yang become out of balance that the qi is unable to flow as it should to the various organs and ill health is the result.

Every phenomenon in the universe can be divided into yin and yang. When these two forces are in balance and in harmony, the body is healthy. So yin is the moon and yang the sun.

This describes the theoretical concepts that still remain the basis of Chinese medicine in London today which is that there are two opposing, yet complementary forces in the body - and indeed in the entire universe - known as yin and yang. What most people agree is that TCM is described in the earliest known written record which is from the 3rd century BC and is called Huangdi neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic).

However, Traditional Chinese Medicine - also known as TCM - embraces far more than just a pill or something in a bottle, and includes such things as acupuncture, moxibustion, massage therapy, cupping, Chinese herbs, and more. In the West we tend to think of medicine as something that we take internally, either a liquid or a pill.

Chinese herbs alone include leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds of plants, such as cinnamon bark, ginger, ginseng, liquorice, and rhubarb. Furthermore, depending on whose figures you believe, TCM dates back anywhere between 2,200 and 5,000 years. Whichever figure is correct, it certainly has a long history. So the term TCM is very wide ranging. However, polkadot mushroom chocolate bar they don't only include parts of plants but also deer antlers, tiger bones, rhino horns, snake bile, and minerals such as arsenic, mercury, lead, and even asbestos.
