Description
Summary:The Chinese civilization with more than 5000 years of history, we left four great inventions for mankind, the compass, paper, the Abaco and gunpowder, but, also for the health care a great treasure of Chinese traditional medicine as is acupuncture. It is defined to acupuncture as an art and a science that involves inserting very fine needles (disposable) on energy points on the body surface to restore or balance the flow of energy in invisible lines of the body, called meridians. In west end, the insertion of needles activate small myelinated fibers in the striated muscle, these send impulses to the Central Nervous System producing release of neuropeptides (endorphin, enkephalin, Dinorfinas) blocking the painful messages from any part of the body.
