Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the patient’s skin at specific points
on the body, and the needles are inserted to various depths. The medical community is not in conclusive

therapeutic benefits, including pain relief.

acupuncture treatments relieve debilitating symptoms of zerostomia - severe dry mouth - among patients
treated with head and neck cancer.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains that health is the result of a harmonious balance of the
complementary extremes of yin and yang of the life force known as chi or qi. Qi is said to flow through
pathways in the human body. Through 350 acupuncture points in the body, these pathways and energy flows
may be accessed. Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance of the forces. If needles are inserted
into these points with appropriate combinations, it is said that the energy flow can be brought back into
proper balance.
In Western societies and several other parts of the world, acupuncture is explained, including
concepts of neuroscience. Acupuncture points are seen by Western practitioners as places where nerves,
muscles and connective tissue can be stimulated. Acupuncture practitioners say that the stimulation increases
blood flow while at the same time triggering the activity of our own body’s natural painkillers.
