what to visit in Malaga

Acupuncture is the oldest medicine known, and there are documents detailing the practice that are more than 4000 years old. This technique was used by the Chinese to treat disease or relieve pain. Similarly, tantric massage or shiatsu acupuncture works on energy points. In these ancient texts, we can find graphic designs that explain in detail the function of each point.

Today many people criticize these ancient techniques and dismiss them because they have nothing to do with what we know today as “medicine.” For instance: How do you explain to a doctor of internal medicine that instead of treating an organ directly, you are trying to treat an energy channel that supposedly corresponds to the body part in question?

But curiously, in such developed countries like Norway and Switzerland even social security covers this type of treatment, and doctors often refer their patients to these alternatives without leaving today’s medicine behind. Perhaps the best medicine is one that combines all the options available following the needs of the patient.

According to some, Acupuncture is just fashion, and people do it because it sounds cool to say “I’m treating myself with acupuncture,” but for most it is a complement to conventional treatments, or they turn to these ancient technique in desperation after many unnecessary treatments conventional techniques which haven’t helped solve their problems with.

The truth is that it is in full swing and we all know someone who is or has been treated with “the technique of the needle” with varying results. It’s important to keep in mind, that just as there are good and bad doctors, there are good and bad acupuncturists.

Generally, acupuncture has no side effects and does not cause allergies as there is no need to ingest chemical drugs.

After all, if it’s been around for ages and people still use it, there must be a reason….

Strictly speaking, traditional medicine can not be ignored, and it’s quite clear that acupuncture can not reposition a broken bone or fill your cavities. However, it is a suitable treatment to restore both physical and mental balance. Therefore, if you come to the Costa del Sol, enjoy a relaxing holiday, rent apartments in Malaga and go to one of the many acupuncture centres in the area to feel the best you possibly can.
