Using Acupuncture to Treat Heart Disease


There are many drugs on the market that can be used to help heart disease. However, with any drug a patient risks the possibility of side effects.

However, many people are turning to alternative medicine practices to help treat heart disease without the harmful side effects of drugs.

Acupuncture has become increasingly common among people working to treat or prevent heart disease.

This is an ancient Chinese medicine practice where very tiny needles are placed strategically in the body to improve health.

The basis for this practice is the movement of energy throughout the body that may become blocked.

The practice of acupuncture helps to unblock and redirect that energy. And science is on the side of this practice.

Studies have shown that acupuncture can be used to reduce blood pressure and thereby reduce heart disease.

It has also been shown to reduce the incidence of angina, blood vessel spasms in the heart that cause pain.

And people who were treated by acupuncture for angina were able to recovery more quickly form an attack than those on pharmaceutical treatment.

Acupuncture is generally painless because the needles used are so tiny.

It can also be a relaxing experience. Once the needles are inserted into your body, you lie quietly for several minutes and rest.

Before you go to an acupuncturist, you should make sure that he or she is certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

This ensures that they have a solid level of education and that they continue to become educated on this form of medicine.

Acupuncture is covered by some medical insurance, but most people will probably have to pay out of pocket. Visits range widely in cost across the country.

It's a good idea to call several practitioners in your area to find out about the going rate.

It usually takes several sessions to get the effect you desire.

However, the cost and time may be worth it because acupuncture carries no harmful side effects and may reduce your dependence on expensive medications.

Some people are unsure about alternative medicine therapies, but a quick look online can show you that science is beginning to come around to this ancient form of medicine.

The Chinese have been practicing it for centuries, and Westerners really are the ones behind the times.

Many studies are confirming what people have known traditionally for a long time - acupuncture does work in many cases.


It’s much better to keep yourself from developing heart disease than to try to keep it from getting worse later.
