Acupuncture: Holistic Health to Heal the Planet!

Life is a pain. Don't get us wrong, life is a divine gift which we are eternally grateful for. But it's got its aches and pains which can distract us from the bliss each day grants us. When we are under stress or have been hurt, we can find ourselves suffering from chronic pain or persisting symptoms, like headaches or digestive issues.

When this happens, many people simply show up at the doctor and take whatever medicine they are given. If we do not take responsibility for our health, we may find ourselves suffering from more than what we went to the doctors with. With the big money to be made in medicine being supplied from treating ailments rather than curing them, there are many doctors who will try to get as much repeat business as possible to get their kickbacks from their pharmaceutical sponsors. Many treatments for common symptoms are given not out of the best interests of their patients, but because the patient meets enough criteria to legally permit the doling out of the medicine that directly benefits their pockets the most.

We want to show the world there are alternatives to the Babylon health-care industry. Holistic and natural medicines have been used throughout history to great effect. Many herbs and foods offer superior results than what corporations are jamming into pills. Sometimes, nothing needs to be taken at all! There are many ways to help the body heal itself and change the body's perspective on pain.

Acupuncture is one of these holistic treatments. An ancient Chinese medicine, the practice of activating key spots on the body with needles has been used to help people for at least 2,000 years. It is a technique which offers the body a release of tension by readjusting its own energies, or Qi. Properly done with the insight of an Eastern perspective, acupuncture can relieve pain, stress, and induce a more harmonious sense of being.

We recently went to see an acupuncturist in Middletown, CA. Ruth Richards offers free services on the first Thursday of every month. A sweet and compassionate individual, her love really comes through in her healing work. Arriving early, we still had to wait to be seen: acupuncture is apparently very popular with the locals!

The acupuncturists specialized in working with the microcosm of the ear. Like most of life, we develop in fractal patterns. Thus, different parts of the nervous system reflect a structure from other parts of the body. Creating inputs in the right sections of the nervous system causes that energy to radiate across the body. With the right knowledge, an acupuncturist can create a better flow of energy in troubled areas – changing moods, releasing pain, and creating energy for the patient.

Many people shy away from acupuncture; the idea of being stuck with needles is a real fear for some. The procedure is mostly painless. Only the initial poke feels like anything at all. In some areas you don't even feel anything! While the needle is set, your attention is drawn to the area, but there is no pain. In fact, the sensation it creates is energetic while meditating, which is what we all choose to do during our session. Allowing the healing energy to work its medicine magic within our bodies.

Lovecycle highly recommends acupuncture! Our session was amazing! It only lasted an hour, but the effects we experienced lasted throughout the day. Look up acupuncturists in your area and go check them out. Many also offer information on how to help take care of your specific ailments in a natural way.
