The Acupuncture science gives a graphic knowledge of well laid out energy pathways on the surface layer of our skin which can be operated by clearly placed trigger points on the pathways ,very much like an electric line and the switches to operate it.

Each of these trigger points is a potential cure for a variety of ailments . Operating these trigger points produces clear specific reactions in the body leading to restoration of health.

There are trigger points to induce :-

•  Sedating (Effective for anxiety syndrome , insomnia etc)

•  Tonification (Improves general energy level in the body)

•  Emergency ( Used for cardiac arrest, fainting spells and others)

•  Organ specific ( used to regenerate a weak organ like kidney, lung , liver etc and for treatment of spondylosis etc. )

The fact that these trigger points are used widely for pain relieving (including drugless anesthesia for operations ) , martial arts and sports medicine , speaks for its efficacy without doubt.

STRESS AND TRIGGER POINTS

As the work pressures are mounting , the stress related problems resulting from those pressures are also on the rise.

The stress related health problems can be physiological (pertaining to body) or psychological (pertaining to mind) or both.

•  The manifestations of psychological pressures are mind related ones like depression, anxiety, obsessive syndrome or even schyzophernia.

The problems crop up mainly due to maladjustment of body and mind to the existing work environment. The pressures can be due to myriad reasons :-

•  Like long and odd working hours,

•  unsuitable work atmosphere,

•  deadlines to keep up,

•  sensitiveness to working colleagues interactions,

•  lack of aptitude to the work in hand,

•  boredom by not functioning to the potential and so on.

These problems faced by the present day professional are causing high health hazard to themselves and to the organization for which they are working.
