On November 16th the world commemorates World Acupuncture Day to raise awareness of the profession of Traditional Acupuncturists which has been recognized by UNESCO, as an Intangible Human Cultural Treasure.
World Acupuncture Day is organised by UNESO and the World Health Organisation (WHO) to emphasise the efficacy and heritage of acupuncture, particularly in the West where it’s less commonly used. This day is to help educate others about the place of Traditional Acupuncture in everyday healthcare.
Acupuncture Changes Lives
Acupuncture does change lives, I see this in my acupuncture practice gain and again, here are a few examples :- https://www.southwellacupuncture.co.uk/acupuncture-testimonials/
The mind-body connection
Modern medicine has transformed the global healthcare scene, made discovery after discovery in life-saving interventions and wiped out or reduced many diseases. Though it is practiced mostly ignoring the mind-body connection, a connection that has remained at the core of ancient medicine systems.
Ancient practices like acupuncture have continued to create balance between the mind and body, which is one of the reasons the practice is spreading widely in the Western world.
Acupuncture Mind Body
From a mind-body connection point of view, acupuncture understands that physical symptoms are often caused by imbalances in the mind or a disruption of the mind-body connection. Our bodies tell us what’s wrong and acupuncture practitioners are experts at interpreting those messages.
Emotions can greatly affect how each person copes and deals with day to day life. When challenges come these affect how your Bod, Mind and Spirit manifests this. To look further into emotions see my post https://www.southwellacupuncture.co.uk/blog/2021/08/24/stress-emotions-and-acupuncture/
