ACUPUNCTURE |
 |
Acupuncture
is a traditional Chinese
medical technique for
unblocking chi (ch'i or
qi) by inserting needles
at particular points on
the body to balance the
opposing forces of yin and
yang. Chi is an energy
that allegedly permeates
all things. It is believed
to flow through the body
along 14 main pathways
called meridians.
When yin and yang are in
harmony, chi flows freely
within the body and a
person is healthy. When a
person is sick, diseased,
or injured, there is an
obstruction of chi along
one of the meridians.
Traditional Chinese
medicine has identified
some 500 specific points
where needles are to be
inserted for specific
effects. |
|
|
|
Acupuncture
has been practiced in China for
more than 4000 years,Today, the
needles are twirled, heated, or
even stimulated with weak
electrical current, ultrasound, or
certain wavelengths of light. Some
use tuning forks over the
acupoints. |

CHINESE
HERB |
|
| Herbal
medicine is a
holistic therapy
which integrates
plant remedies
with the mental,
emotional and
spiritual aspects
of health into the
understanding of
the body's
functions. It acts
gently by
supporting systems
and processes that
have become
deficient and
helps to remove
excesses in the
body. |
| |
| Pharmaceutical
drug discovery
begins with the
understanding of
the disease
mechanism,
followed by
compound and
target
identification,
validation and
optimization.
Scientists develop
new drugs based on
their research and
understanding of
the human body and
disease
mechanisms, and a
large collection
of molecules are
screened to select
for compounds that
may show potential
efficacy with low
toxicity. |
|
|
| The vast majority
of herbal medicines contain a
complex mixture of compounds such
as terpenes, alkaloids,
polysaccharides or other chemicals
that buffer, modulate and modify
the effects of any active
ingredient in the herb. Therefore,
administration of isolated
compounds of a plant cannot easily
mimic the effects of extracts from
the whole plant. Scientific
studies on an isolated component
may be easily confused with
studies on the plant as a whole.
This misinterpretation always
leads incorrect data being
gathered, till disproved by
reviewing the original research
study. |
