 A face lift with acupuncture can be achieved with a series of acupuncture treatments. The insertion of needles into the
facial skin stimulates natural collagen production, which plumps out and firms the skin.Acupuncture face lift results include
better muscle tone and jaw line definition, a decrease in lines and wrinkles.
Moxibustion with warming needle is an integration of acupuncture and moxibustion, and is used for conditions in which both retention of the needle and moxibustion are needed. It is applied as follows: after the arrival of qi and with the needle retained in the point, get a small section of a moxa stick and put on the handle of the needle; ignite the moxa stick from its bottom and let it burn out. This method has the function of warming the meridians and promoting the flow of qi and blood so as to treat bi-syndrome caused by cold-damp and paralysis. Application to cold-damp syndrome was the subject of a clinical evaluation involving patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The needles used in acupuncture are almost like switches in the energy circuits of the body. Imagine the body as the computer
and the energy system as the software program. The needles may help can be "re-program" the body so it doesn't react to pollen
or dog dander or peanuts as if they were harmful substances.The placement of the needles, the direction and depth of insertion,
and the manipulation of the needle in the patient's body all depend on that person's system or makeup. |
