Healing needles
MANILA, Philippines - Acupuncture has been an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine. Eversince acupuncture points were discovered, millions of people have experienced its effective healing prowers as complementary and alternative medicine.
Acupuncture made balikbayan Dr. Noel Francisco Zosa return to the Philippines for good. A licensed acupuncturist, Dr. Zosa went to China to learn how acupuncture is practiced in the ancient Eastern culture.
Illnesses are caused by an imbalance in one of the organs of the body. Acupuncture gets to the root of this problem by figuring out the affected organs. This ancient method goes beyond encouraging the body to naturally heal itself with the use of super-thin needles inserted on specific body points that produce a balanced energy flow and a feeling of comfort and relief.
Acupuncture is popularly known to help relieve hypertension, headache, migraine, back and neck pain, skin diseases, allergies, digestive and sleeping disorders, infertility, and other gynecological problems. It also helps in detoxification; appetite control; weight loss; treatment of stress and early stage cancer, substance and alcohol addiction; post-stroke rehabilitation; and strengthening the immune system, among others.
“There are no known side effects or overdose with acupuncture unlike prescription medicines that damage the liver, kidneys, and other organs of the body,” Dr. Zosa reveals.
Dr. Zosa points out, “Acupuncture is now being used in top medical hospitals like Harvard, Yale, and Johns Hopkins in coordination with mainstream modalities or treatment. “Doctors have an acupuncturist working hand in hand with them in treating diseases. I can see it as an accepted form of medical treatment here in the Philippines. Besides, prescription medicines are very expensive here in the country and very few people can afford them. Acupuncture when used with herbs has a safer and much better result.”
Dr. Zosa combines herbal medicine with his vibration-healing music and meditation for chakra balancing and inner peace.
He recently opened his clinic at Suite 12T, Legaspi Towers 300 (beside Traders Hotel), Roxas Boulevard corner Vito Cruz, Manila. For inquiries and appointments, call 09107095745 or (02)399-2117. Visit www.acupuncturemanila.com for more information.
