Acupuncture For Psoriasis - Does It Work?
Using acupuncture to aid your psoriasis may seem unusual, and indeed, this age-old Chinese practice is not used in China itself to deal with psoriasis, probably since the condition is rare there. However, as science and nature have failed to discover a cure for psoriasis, and the fact that some rely on the use of acupuncture for psoriasis that can help them calm the plagues and lesions, maybe this natural alternative may be worth a try.
Severe psoriasis affects around 2% of the population in both the USA and Australia. Additionally there is roughly 20% of the population suffering from a mild to severe degree of this condition. Moreover, 1000s of new cases are documented every year making psoriasis a significant problem globally. The precise cause is unknown, but it is known this condition doesn't just affect the upper layer of skin; it is very likely to be linked to malfunctions in the body's defence mechanism that causes certain cells to become overactive.
Acupuncture uses thin, long needles which are inserted into the body at specific points along a 'network' of signal pathways that correspond to the problem area. This may or may not entail treatment in an affected region that can help resolve the problem. Signals will be redirected by acupuncture to where they need to be.
Although Western acupuncture professionals advocate the practice in the treatment of psoriasis, there is not much clinical evidence to support it. This may possibly be because of individual differences in how psoriasis exhibits in one person in comparison to another. Sadly, it's a case of experimentation in an effort to calm your problem.
Should you be looking for a fast cure, then go elsewhere, as you will require several sessions to discover whether acupuncture for psoriasis works for you. The good news of course is that there are no unwanted effects, except if you have an aversion to needles that may put your blood pressure up or cause a panic attack! If this sounds like you, you might be relieved to know that the practice is often now performed using electric currents and small probes instead of needles. This modern-day technique is said to be just as effective as needles.
So, if you have uses up the options I recommend that you give acupuncture for psoriasis a try. Personally, although I haven't tried acupuncture at all, I'd prefer the modern-day electric current version. But then, I'm a wimp!
