Fight against osteoarthritis thanks to Chinese medicine - Chinese acupuncture and medicine center in Geneva

Obstruction in the body's energy conduits

Energy moves in the form of channels

The intuition of the ancient Chinese is that the energy does not move anarchically in the body but rather, as in nature, in the form of canals, rivers of different sizes.

These "roads" or "conduits" are called "meridians" or "collateral" if they are smaller.

A principle of Chinese medicine states: "If there is obstructions, there is pain. If the passage is fluid, it is not painful ”.Arthrosis, according to Chinese medicine, is a manifestation of pain that is due to an obstruction of the meridians, a clogged channel in one way or another.

The reasons for the "traffic jams" in the energy canals of the body are multiple. They are separated into "internal" and "external" factors.

External pathogenic factorsare hot, cold, humidity, wind, drought, among others. Too large quantity of cold has entered the shoulder or knee, and they hurt.

Internal factorsare too strong or too long emotions; For example, a sadness due to a separation that lasts many months. Depression will influence the movement of energy and cause congestion in a particular place. The joints making "elbows" on the energy circuit are therefore good places for stagnation.

Relieving pain is one of the specialties of Chinese medicine.

If the Chinese diagnostic medicine therapist that cold is the source of the problem, he prescribes herbs and poses acupuncture needles accordingly. If he believes that sadness or anger are the cause of pain, he advises on the management of emotions and places needles on the meridian of the liver.

This process, which seems simple, makes patients “recovered” after a medical wandering over many years without finding solutions.

If you have yourself or close to pain, do not hesitate to try and recommend acupuncture: two or three sessions are enough to start to feel the benefits.Only the one who suffers knows the weight of the problem.
