Acupuncture to Treat Prostate Symptoms

Acupuncture involves having needles, which are thinner than a human hair, placed at a very shallow depth into the skin. The effectiveness lies in their position. They are precisely placed by your well-trained acupuncturist to open the channel, or meridian, and to balance and free the Chi, or life energy that flows through us all. The meridians are somewhat parallel to your nervous system. Acupuncture can be used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. To intensify the effect of acupuncture treatments, you can try electroacupuncture. This is where tiny electrodes are attached to the needles, and a low charge of electricity is pulsed through the needles. This is often recommended in the case of enlarged prostates. Don’t worry, though; the needles do not need to placed near the troubled spot to be effective.
