What’s Acupuncture?
Acupuncture develops as a medical technique, since ancient China. It uses
fine needles insert into specific points on the surface of the body. When these
points are stimulated, they will take a curative effect, restoring health and
preventing disease. As acupuncture triggers the endocrine and nervous systems,
it helps the body achieve a state of balance.
How does acupuncture alleviate polycystic kidneys?
●Assist shrink renal cysts. Acupuncture increases circulation in the problem
area and promotes tissue regeneration. However, in order to achieve the goal to
shrink renal cysts greatly, acupuncture should be conjunctive with Chinese
Herbs. The herbal formulas which specialize in treating polycystic kidneys can
restrict the persistent secretion of cyst fluids and force water-like sacs
flowing into blood vessels. Thus, cysts will shrink little by little. Meantime,
with the combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine will take effect
faster.
● Alleviate pains. Flank pain, backache, abdominal pain is common symptoms of
polycystic kidneys. As it is mentioned above, acupuncture can stimulate the
production of endorphins. It is the body’s natural pain killers. Meantime,
acupuncture effectively deactivates trigger points, which are overly sensitive
spots beneath the skin that sometimes "trigger" pain or other symptoms into a
"reference" zone, an area in a different part of the body, either close or far
away.
● Reduce emotional stress. Many patients who are diagnosed with PKD tend to
become anxious and nervous than before. Such an emotional stress affects them
negatively. According to Chinese Medicine, the body responds to stress by
mobilizing its resources the “fight or flight” response. By stimulating with
special acupoint, body can relax its muscles and nerves. This is why many
patients who suffer from extreme pain can sleep peacefully during or after
acupuncture.
