History of acupuncture

History of acupuncture
Acupuncture is a
fascinating method for curing various illnesses. It may seem like
merely placing some needles at specific points on the body but
acupuncture has a fascinating history as well. The history of
acupuncture can be traced even to the Stone Age. Sharpened stones
called as Bian Shi were used for acupuncture in China as early as
during 3000BC. There are also archaeological evidences that suggest the
application of acupuncture during the Han dynasty. Korean literature
describes about traditional Korean medicine that used a system called
as chimsul. This method is important even in Japan where it is famous
as Kampo. Shen Nung, the father of Chinese medicine, is the first
person who theorized about the circulation within the human body.
These theories were made about 5000 years ago. It was these theories
that lead to the formation of acupuncture. Shen Nung proposed the idea
of Qi. Qi is an energy that flows through the human body through
certain specific channels that are called as Meridians. The theory
proposed by Chen Nung stated that if the flow of Qi to the different
parts was interrupted due to some reason, then it resulted in certain
illness. He also stated that this can be cured by regulating the flow
of qi. The history of acupuncture relates that Shen Nung observed that
to have an orderly flow of Qi, certain points in the body that the
Meridians come into contact with the skin surface should be
manipulated. Such points should be accessed through needles insertion
into the skin and this practice is called as acupuncture. However,
hundreds of contact points are present in the human body and the
needles are inserted depending on the ailment. In-depth diagnosis is
done to locate the points where Qi gets obstructed.
Initially, the treatment of acupuncture was remained unacceptable even
by the Chinese communist party. They even agreed it to be superstitious
and irrational. They also viewed it as a hindrance to the progress of
science. In 1950, Chairman Mao united western medicine with Traditional
Chinese medicine officially and this brought significance and
prominence to acupuncture treatment. The acupuncture gained importance
in the USA in early 1970s. The US president Richard Nixon visited China
and was amazed to see acupuncture being used to cure serious ailments.
This was practiced only in the Chinese communities and the person
administering the acupuncture had learnt it from their forebears. Then
onwards, acupuncture played a significant role in the medical system of
china. Although, today acupuncture is modernized, it can never lose its
identity of being related to a philosophy instituted thousands of years
ago.

This force is shown by the blood that flows in your body. Blood pressure measures are systolic and diastolic pressure and are expressed in millimeters of mercury. Systolic pressure refers to the heart pumps and diastolic pressure is read as per the measure between beats.

Reducing sodium is certainly a prudent approach in decreasing the hypertension risk. Recommending sodium intake in a very restricted measure will keep you at a safe distance from high blood pressure. The potassium diet is also essential as it works with sodium in the aim of regulating the water balance in the body. Researches have proved that more potassium and lesser sodium in a diet make a person maintain normalcy in his blood pressure. However, there are no proper evidences suggesting high blood pressure people to take potassium supplements. Hypertension is at risk for people with low calcium. Calcium and potassium rich foods are expected to be eaten everyday. Similarly, a reasonable weight is to be maintained to minimize the jeopardy of major diseases such as hypertension. People with overweight will notice a dramatic decrease in their high blood pressure when there is a small weight loss. Reading labels and purchasing food brands is ideal. There is no option but to become a wise shopper. Untreated hypertension leads to various other health complications such as kidney failure, strokes, heart attack and impaired vision. Hypertension diet should strictly concentrate in rich fruits and vegetables with complex carbohydrates. They should stop having low-fat dairy products.

Food allergies

Food allergies
Food allergies have become more prominent in society today. One of the reasons is that more individuals are being tested for allergies and therefore their statistics are beginning recorded. The other reason for food allergies becoming more prevalent is not known. It seems that more children and adults are becoming affected by food. It should also be mentioned that there are a couple of different ways to look at food allergies and perhaps this is one reason for the prevalence being so high. There are food allergies, and then there is food intolerance. Often food intolerance is looked at from the point of view of being an allergic reaction; however there are some significant differences to the two. A food allergy is a response by the immune system towards that stimulant. In other words the immune system starts fighting the food that was eaten causing rashes, anaphylaxis, and difficulty breathing. This is different from food intolerance because the immune system is not involved. Most often food intolerance is related to a lack of proper chemicals or enzymes needed to digest the food. For instance you would have lactose intolerance if you had issues drinking milk, but this is not considered a food allergy. There are going to be symptoms with food allergies that are absence in food intolerance cases. For example with food intolerance an individual suffers from stomach cramps, diarrhea, constipation, skin rashes, headaches and an unproductive cough. With food allergies the body can literally shut down so that the person cannot breathe without assistance from medication. Another way of looking at food allergies verses food intolerance is that food allergies cause a person’s body to swell, the throat to close, and the immune system to activate like it was fighting cold or other disease. Food allergies can form by eating any food that you are allergic too and in some cases your body can have a reaction with your skin coming in contact with the substance. For instance those that are extremely allergic to peanut oil could have a reaction if they get some of this oil on their fingers. The reaction with food allergies is almost immediate. For some individuals it can take ten minutes, but most often you will see a rash or the throat will begin to close up within minutes of ingesting the food. For severe cases of food allergies many individuals have to have special diets as well as carry around an Epi- Pen, which has medication in it.
