O akupunkturi
Kaj je akupunktura?
Akupunktura je tehnika, pri kateri izvajalci v terapevtske ali preventivne namene vstavijo tanke igle v dele telesa. Igle lahko manipulirajo ročno ali jih stimulirajo z majhnimi električnimi tokovi (elektroakupunktura).
V kitajskem zapisu 針灸 pomeni "akupunktura in moksibustija". Po podatkih Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije se akupunktura uporablja v 103 od 129 držav, ki so sporočile podatke. Na Zahodu se akupunktura najpogosteje uporablja za zdravljenje bolečine. Vse pogosteje pa se uporablja tudi za splošno dobro počutje, vključno z obvladovanjem stresa, prebavnih težav, neplodnosti in podobno.
