According to the Japanese technique of healing, the universe is created in this "life force energy" that is found in various cultures. For example, among the Hindus, it is "Shakti Kundalini".

Quite well known and practiced today around the world, Reiki is defined as a relaxation technique, but also healing through laying on of hands.

2010-04-05T10:19:00.000-07:00

Conventional medicine and science have been particular advances in recent years. However, there are diseases that still can not be completely addressed through medication or surgery. This is where the medicines that are called soft use a variety of traditional techniques from around the world.

The market for ayurvedic medicine, Thai massage, acupuncture, but also that of homeopathy and relaxation therapy, have skyrocketed in almost a decade, and patients are increasingly likely to turn to alternative medicine.

In China, for example, we can note that there is a university extending over a period of at least five years. By cons, in other countries, studies of acupuncture are sanctioned by a training provided by a professional, an accredited private school diploma ... ) And is ranked among the common acts of Medicine and requires no fees or specific standards and is not supported by Social Security.

Note that we may seek acupuncture points without having to use needles, but mainly by specific massage techniques which are easy to learn. Although its effectiveness is often at the heart of scientific debates, acupuncture is for certain, a form of therapy that has proven itself.

The techniques of acupuncture

2010-03-25T10:09:00.000-07:00

Inspired by Taoism with the duality of Yin and Yang '(two categories symbiotic but complementary existing in all aspects of life and the universe), acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine to treat various diseases . The techniques of acupuncture are based on the construction of very fine needles into the skin and at various points located exactly on the body to improve energy flow as "meridians" (lines traversing the entire body).

Very often, acupuncture is recommended in cases of viral diseases or even small organic and non-lesional. Note that some anesthetics are also made through techniques of acupuncture, without there being side effects and are equally effective. Usually, the effectiveness of acupuncture is not the subject of controversy. Taught as a specialty in Western medicine, acupuncture is a specialization whose cost is supported by Social Security in France. But we must not omit the fact that acupuncturists often exercise this form of traditional medicine in additional fees. Note that the practice of acupuncture requires like any other medical specialty, risk by the impact that this may cause discomfort. For example, the rules of hygiene are very important in regard to these techniques. Why, when using non-sanitized needles, unsuitable or even used for several patients in sensitive areas, the acupuncturist exposes the patient to infections or other adverse effects.

The history of acupuncture

2010-03-19T10:04:00.000-07:00

Etymologically, the word "acupuncture" comes from the Latin word "acus" which means "needle" and "pungere" meaning "sting". The history of acupuncture confers membership in traditional Chinese medicine, which is a healing art based on a logical diagnosis, but also the therapeutic energy Taoism vision of man and the universe. It is the microcosm of man and, subject to the same rules in order to inspire his lifestyle which will consist of a medical procedure that is acupuncture.

The first signs within acupuncture are at the period of the Stone Age (during the Shang dynasty: from 16th to 11th century BC.) Where the needles of bone or bamboo would be used for casting bronze. The traces have been found there as the "Nei Jing Su Wen (book on acupuncture), the technique of heat stimulation of acupuncture points through the" moxa "(object heating favoring the stimulation) known as "moxibustion." Added to this are massage, therapeutic drugs, gymnastics made of -500 to -220 during the Warring States period, with -206 in the Han Dynasty ... Over time, the techniques of acupuncture crossed eras, cultures, continents and, in the 17th century in Europe and more specifically in 1679, we witnessed the introduction of this form of traditional Chinese medicine through Ten Rhyne to the doctor, the "East India Company and Kaempfer. In the 18th century, these same techniques of acupuncture were recorded in the collections of Vicq Azyr and Dujardin. According to some writings, it would Berlioz in 1810, have tried acupuncture in France before being followed by other physicians.

But later, in 1822, acupuncture was confronted with various difficulties, since it was censored by the Chinese emperor and proscribed Program Imperial Medical College. Later, it was the turn of the founder and leader of the People's Republic of China (Mao Zedong) due to its Taoist origins contradictory to those of his ideology was Marxist! Fortunately, he recovered later, acupuncture to the chagrin of all!

Acupuncture

Today, Taiwan remains a valuable place where traditional acupuncture, acupuncturists teachers persecuted by Mao fled. And we note that even George Soulie de Morant (1878-1955), French Consul in China, became interested in acupuncture and published a treatise serving as a model today, knowing that this technique of traditional medicine What Chinese acupuncture is an undoubted relevance in the medical field in China. According to the practice of acupuncture, the main meridians (12 in number and located near the ends of the human body) are searched by dots corresponding to strategic areas (approximately 360). Indeed, it seems easy to determine a point, locating the needle into the skin, an area unaffected. But how to explain this technique.

According to acupuncture techniques, the energies are 6 "Chao Yang", the "Tsiu Yin", the "Yang Ming", the "Chao Yin, the" Tae Yang "and" Tae Yin "and the 8 visceral entities are classified as five elements are: fire, metal, water, wood and earth ...

Boiron Homeopathic Medicines

2010-03-13T09:59:00.000-08:00

In terms of homeopathy, Boiron Laboratories can claim to be true pioneers in the world. Present in the area under this name since the late 60s, the great name of the pharmacy has had a long tradition of art homeopathic. His story begins much earlier, in 1911. Today, the French expert certified homeopathic medicines juggles with a score of foreign subsidiaries and advanced the field of his specialty, with nearly four thousand employees.

Boiron Homeopathic medicines are the result of a half-century of research ever more innovative in the service of a cause. Make available to clients ranges wider variety of preparations totally reliable, as is the motivation behind the daily employees of this giant. This single criterion of reliability, dear Boiron Laboratories, shall be guaranteed by the extraction methods used on their sites and by the careful selection of resources exploited. These include minerals and chemicals, animal and plant on which it makes a very high dilution. A directory with nearly 3,000 strains provides inspiration for researchers from Boiron. Between salt sea snake venoms and arnica among other parties to use are collected by methods combining targeted results - on the quality of drugs - with the legislation in force on the French territory. That is why a particular specification has been established to frame the method the raw vegetable growers proceed.

Whatever their nature, raw materials are checked picky which mobilizes an army of technicians, chemists, botanists and pharmacists. Once selected raw materials, lab pass to the stage of manufacture of the tincture. It is the raw form of the active ingredient from the substance used and is obtained by maceration. For some substances not soluble, tincture is obtained by a method called trituration with lactose.

That, anyway, from this product that you will get varying degrees of dilution, but always respecting the method hanhemannienne. The two letters on the tube of medicine ready to return this level of dilution: CH when it is the hundredth, DH tenth dilutions. Before the drug reaches the form of presentation offered to users, making through another step is impregnation. Boiron Laboratories have to do this, an automatic process, patented in 1961. It is incorporated under a controlled atmosphere, the active principle which will serve as support in the final form of the drug. This may be balls or pellets. Following these approaches, the Boiron homeopathic medicines are supplied to prescribers in various forms. As appropriate, they offer to users of doses or blood tubes granules, the most traditional forms that are associated with specialty Boiron. But the list of medications the brand comes in many forms such as tablets and syrup.

Boiron homeopathic medicines

Eye drops, ampoules, oral single-dose liquid and ointment also meet the drawers of pharmacies, under the blue sign. Ultimately, these products fall into two broad categories. On the one hand, accompanied dosage forms and are suitable for therapeutic indications. They are intended for various diseases affecting the skin and eyes, nervous system and respiratory sphere. Meal for allergies and seasonal diseases also appear in the list. On the other hand, a repertoire of medicines from Boiron research fits all sorts of symptoms, without calling into question the safety of use. So do not be surprised if a doctor prescribes the same name for the case of a headache and nausea in another state. We just refer to a simple manual. It must in particular ensure that the granules are in contact with the hands. Then, for decision, it is to melt under the tongue, without chewing. It is through the microcirculation perlingual that the active principle will operate on the body. The main advantage of this method of administration is that the principle does not pass through the liver which could degrade its effects.

The place of homeopathy in the medical field

2010-03-05T09:55:00.000-08:00

System of alternative medicine is not recognized in the scientific community to treat patients with agents highly diluted, Homeopathy is sometimes difficult to be recognized as a form of therapy. But what is really his place in the medical field? Indeed, the homeopath justifies rigorous training to complement that of medicine.

This feature tends to emphasize the importance of homeopathy in the medical field, but also to meet the requirement of knowledge for the prescription of homeopathic medicines. Indeed, the training course in homeopathy is nowadays carried out within private schools, but also in universities (faculties of medicine or pharmacy): This is actually a cycle of "Training Continuing Medical "which became an important place in various countries. Over a period of two years studies in homeopathy vary from 150 to 200 hours or 1200 hours over a period of three years for some countries, while linking theory with practice, that is to say , teaching the basics to clinical practice, and are often the subject of proposals for medical graduates.

Unlike post-graduate specializations (including that of the veterinarian or pharmacist), homeopathy requires knowledge of "homeopathic materia medica" (symptoms, most common indications requiring the prescription of homeopathic medicines), prescription strategies without forgetting rules related to dosage, manufacturing, pharmacology of homeopathic medicine, and finally, homeopathic clinic, the examination of the patient, but also the place of homeopathy in various diseases.

Homeopathy medicine

If homeopathy is becoming more and more attention in the medical field, it must be stressed that its success can not be separated from that of medicine. Usually, specialists in homeopathy challenge this membership for fear of similarities that could be harmful, despite the fact that it is approved, or even desired. For that reason, we now have commercials homeopathic medicines which demonstrate the confidence of patients who often use alternative therapies. Meanwhile, for those who do not really consider the virtues of homeopathy, one realizes that the evolution of medicine has still not fully responded to certain disabilities or even some causes of mortality.

If on homeopathy in the medical field, some speak of "illusion" or "quackery" and others "natural" medicine which would not result in pain and do not bully the body, homeopathy appears today as a medicine against the harsh medicine. But what is a "medicine" in reality? And what is meant by "natural medicine"? These are questions to which answers are still missing. Meanwhile, for those who recognize the obvious virtues of homeopathy (which seem sometimes subjective), it is certain that in addition to socio-psychological factors contributing to the rise of alternative medicines, they have already made a place for this method of therapy in the medical field.

While the effectiveness of homeopathy in acute diseases is now undeniable, and you must cons emphasize that self-medication in this context is not recommended because it does not necessarily facilitate healing, and may be a danger to your health! Furthermore, it is important not to replace a homeopathic treatment by allopathic treatment because they are two forms of alternative medicine and complementary alliables.

Homeopathy: an alternative medicine based on plants, animals and minerals!

According to the writings on the origin of homeopathy, it is a form of alternative medicine and more specifically of alternative therapy created by Samuel Hahnemann, German physician (1755-1843). Homeopathy is in fact a method of therapy known as "natural," but especially "non-aggressive. But what is its function?

Indeed, homeopathy is not only a medical theory, but also therapeutic methods because it uses the pharmacopoeia of mineral, vegetable or even animal and at a minimal amount that this conception Medical is based on "law of analogy experimental! In fact, the uniqueness of homeopathic treatment aims not only to determine the physico-chemical constitution, the correctness of the "law of similarity", pharmacodynamic activity, dilutions as Hahnemann as homeopathic medicines, but also the recognition of the "whole concept of individual" where the physical and the psychic are taken into account. When are homeopathic medicines prescribed by doctors? In some cases heart problems, lung, intestine (in Chinese medicine), or even people phlegmatic, choleric or so inherited disorders and personal, aging bodies, physical shock, poisoning, infection, trauma, emotional shock or emotional and abnormalities ...

Note that homeopathic medicines are prescribed by physicians according to certain criteria such as climate, the temporal dimension (time), the symptoms and the condition of the subject ... Regarding the formation of homeopathic medicines, we will use the carbon, fluorine, but also phosphorus!

The origins of homeopathy

As part of alternative medicine, homeopathy encompasses therapeutic methods deemed "natural", especially "non-aggressive" to deal with agents undiluted certain diseases. But what is really the origin of homeopathy? Etymologically, the word homeopathy comes from the Greek "homoios" meaning similar and "pathos" meaning suffering or disease so.

According to some beliefs, homeopathy dates back to 1700 when a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), disappointed by the ineffective medical practices of the time (purging, bloodletting, leeches use ...), showed continued his research, the "law of similarity" that "the symptoms of the disease can be cured by extremely small doses of substances that produce similar symptoms in healthy people, if they are administered in large quantities. This theory (first published in 1796), was studied through the injection of plants, minerals and other substances to healthy people. According to Samuel Hahnemann, disease significantly inhibit the body's ability to heal quickly, which justifies the use of a stimulus to trigger the healing process. All these observations have been preserved in books known as the referents of "Materia Medica".

Initially, the precursor of homeopathy used small doses of drugs, but over time, it was necessary to use large dilutions of these drugs because he said "over the drug was diluted, its effect would be more powerful" : the "law of infinitesimals", contrary to the pharmacologists who have always supported the "dose effect". These lessons included in the "Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia", are in fact the conclusions issued in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

These treatments are legally recognized as "drugs", without saying that the Act or so, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration is the U.S. administration of food and drugs, allowing the marketing of drugs the territory of the United States of America) admit its effectiveness. In fact, it was found that homeopathy was less random (or less harmful) the treatment prescribed by the medical orthodoxy in the 19th century. Thus, a century later, homeopathy has attracted about 14,000 practitioners and 22 schools led training, to open their doors to the United States.

Over time, the pace of developments in science followed by lessons in medicine, the reputation of homeopathy declined in the USA and unavoidable, forced to adapt to modern medicine or schools closed their doors (to al late 1920s), or modern methods were the subject of lessons that were taught there. Today, some homeopaths contend that there are people who have a special relationship with a specific remedy, but to suit a variety of ills: their "constitutional remedy" may be prescribed by the "constitutional type" of subject. This analogy is sometimes comparable to astrology. Apart from all these elements relating to the origin of homeopathy, its evolution and also its place in the medical field, can we say to make a rational theory of diagnosis or treatment in respect of homeopathy?

Introduction to Naturopathy

The Naturopathic medicine is eternal. Throughout history, men are treated with food, plants, water, applications of clay baths, manipulation, etc.. ...

This medicine has been non-violent in the past represented by Tilden and Trall American, German and Schrott Kneipp and the general Khune who laid the foundations of unity morbid, the French Dumont d'Urville, Rouhet, Carton and many others.

More recently, the great popularizers of Naturopathy was the Americans Shelton and Jensen, Thomson English, Portuguese and French Marchesseau Colucci.

Although not recognized in France, hygiene and natural medicines are regarded favorably by allopathic and homeopathic sincere. And for good reason: Naturopathy is above all a health, lifestyle and diet correctly, the only way to maintain healthy human health and restore the patient's chronic.

However, the allopathic or homeopathic doctor did not have time to teach healthy lifestyles. Whatever one may say, there is a triangle in which all medical methods complement each other:

• Allopathy, Emergency Medicine irreplaceable
• Homeopathy, medicine, non-toxic to micro doses of regulatory failures
• The Naturopathic medicine of the deep, restorative health by removing the causes (etiology) disease.

According to the conceptions of CENA directed by Robert MASSON, respect and observance by man of natural factors bring him health. The disrespect and defiance of natural factors result in disease.

The education of Robert Masson result of rational observations, several thousands of consultations and advice to patients and a sensible step.

What applies is reproducible, and based on observations of the overall physiology. His pragmatism is based on an experimental logic that leaves no room for vagueness, and a methodology that naturopathic individually depending on the type of cases.
