Root & Branch / Cause & Effect
Root & Branch / Cause & Effect
ROOT & BRANCH
Why Acupuncture and alternative medicine is very effective is due to this concept of being “Holistic”, thereby treating the “whole” body and not just the symptoms.
This concept of the treatment being exclusively tailored to your individual needs differs from the standard Western “cookie cutter” treatment model.
A conditions symptoms (Branch/ Effect) are how your body manifests an underlying imbalance and equates for example to: shoulder pain, low back ache, hot flashes, headaches, joint problems, poor sleep, eczema, anxiety, PMS, stress, depression etc…. Acupuncture is excellent at addressing symptomatic conditions (Branches) and local pain but unless the symptom is exclusively induced by some trauma or injury there is always an underlying cause.
This is what we call the “ROOT” (CAUSE) treatment in Acupuncture theory because ideally we want to get to the “Root” of the problem which is the underlying cause of the problem.
When you see me looking at your tongue, pressing and diagnosing the abdomen and meticulously checking the pulses and returning to the pulses during the treatment, it is to uncover and treat the underlying energetic Root Cause of your condition.
Treatments that incorporate both the Root and Branch treatment are much more effective and achieve longer lasting results and eventual cure then treatments that utilize Branch or symptomatic treatment alone which typically yields only short term change.
Japanese style Acupuncture strives to always uncover and address the Root of the condition.
