A sluggish immune system can mean major problems, inviting a number of potential health risks such as cold, flu, respiratory ailments, digestion disorders and even diseases like cancer.
When conventional western medical practices are not enough to keep you in tiptop shape, consider electronic acupuncture to give your immune system a boost.
The Basis behind Acupuncture The practice of acupuncture is based on centuries of traditional Chinese medicine which believes that if the energy in your body is not in balance, illness will follow.
Your body is made up of energy and this energy flows through channels called meridians which connect all parts of your body from emotions and thoughts to the organs, bones and basic functions.
Blocked energy along any of these meridians can lower your immune response, causing potential illness and pain.
Acupuncture can be quite effective for you if western medicine has not proven successful.
While traditional acupuncture uses thin stainless steel needles to insert into various acupoints along the body, electronic acupuncture uses a wand to deliver electromagnetic pulses to certain acupoints to clear energy blockages.
This electronic based therapy is great if you are not fond of needles and prefer to treat yourself in the comfort of your own home.
Boosting Immunity When you stop and think about how you get sick, it is not necessarily being exposed to germs.
The ultimate culprit is often stress and fatigue.
These two factors create the energy blockages in the body which then compromise your immunity function.
If you cannot get enough rest and your mind and body is trapped by stress, you do not have the strength to fight off infection or pain.
With electronic acupuncture, you primarily stimulate different acupoints in the hand and wrist which correspond to various parts of your body.
The magnetic wave impulses delivered through the wand of the electronic acupuncture device enter through the acupoints where they break through energy blockages.
The result is a release of endorphins to boost energy as well as an increase of oxygenated blood and white blood cells produced in the immune system to fight infection found in the body.
The good news about electronic acupuncture, besides the lack of needles, is that it is virtually painless and there are no side effects, unlike certain medical protocols and drugs used in conventional westernized medicine.
The practice is non-invasive and many people find pain relief, more energy and a boost to their immune system in just a few electronic acupuncture sessions.
