I Want to Undergo a Traditional Treatment, What Must I Do?

First you make an appointment over the telephone or via email. Before starting a treatment, the doctor will make a consultation; he will analyze the data that his diagnosing provided about the patient as well as all the patient’s analyses and investigations for the diagnosed affection. The patient’s medical history; living, social and professional environment, are important elements for determining the context in which the affection occurred. The functioning of the genital organs, fertility, as well as sexual dynamics are aspects that reflect the working condition of the entire body and of the cardiovascular system in particular. The acupuncture treatment may start right after the consultation; in addition, the patient will also take medicinal herb extracts, which is done at home, all through the duration of the treatment.

What Implies a Traditional Treatment?

In traditional medical practice a series of therapies and techniques are applied, whose purpose is to restore the energy and the organic balance and to cure the patient’s diseases. Acupuncture is the main therapy; it restores the energy system of the body and reinvigorates the organs. Phytotherapy or herbal medicine cleanses the body of toxins, of dead cells and of other substances accumulated in the course of time. It gives a boost to the processes of cell regeneration and it facilitates the renewal of the cells, replacing the old or dysfunctional cells by new ones, by using the genetic information of a healthy cell from the tissue that must be cured. If the physician thinks that other therapies are necessary, too, they will be applied at the end of the acupuncture session (they are included in the cost of the acupuncture session; they may be Tibetan thermotherapy, manipulation and rearrangement of the skeletal system, moxibustion, etc.).

What Is the Duration of a Traditional Treatment?

In the traditional medicine, treatments are individualized. Each person is unique. Therefore the acupuncture procedures are unique and they differ from one acupuncture session to another. The duration of a treatment varies, depending upon the gravity of the affections under treatment, of the general health condition of the body and of each organ in particular, as well as upon other characteristic features of a patient (age, gender, associated disorders, etc.). It is compulsory and essential to adjust the treatment to each patient in order to manage a successful healing.

Does the Traditional Treatment Interfere with the Allopathic Medication? Will the Patient Go On With His Allopathic Treatment?

The action of allopathic medication is neither slowed down nor stopped. As a general rule, the patient maintains the prescribed dosage or he reduces it a little until there is a noticeable improvement in his health condition. As the patient’s condition improves, the medication is reduced, until it is stopped completely. As far as the patients with various types of cancer are concerned, their treatment procedures vary accordingly and they are discussed at consultation and throughout the duration of their treatment.

How Does an Acupuncture Session Take Place? Will It Be Painful?

After consultation, the patient is invited to the treatment room. The physician will tell him to lie down on the back or on the belly, on one side or to sit down.  The physician inserts the needles into the corresponding points. He advises the patient to think only of pleasant, relaxing things or of nothing at all, to let his mind free. The background music, too, helps patients relax. The painful points betray an energy blockage; however, it is a short pain of low intensity. After the acupuncture session, there may be a prickling sensation in the respective area, vibrations at the surface or in the depth of the skin. The acupoints or the acupuncture points are conical in shape, with the circle-shaped base at the surface of the skin. There are no nerve endings within the cone; therefore the pain does not really exist, it is just the release of the stagnant energy and the recovery of the energy balance.

What Am I Supposed to Feel During the Acupuncture Sessions? What about After?

After the needles are inserted, the body begins to relax; most patients relax very deeply; sometimes they are even sleepy. There may be prickling along the body, vibrations, sudden unwinding; a sudden release of the muscular tension, accompanied by mental and physical reinvigoration. The pains are alleviated; they may even cease completely, depending on their intensity. At the end of the treatment session, there may be mild dizziness; it occurs because the nervous system and the entire body have been refilled with energy.  Most patients feel fresh and rested, calm, and they feel they have a lot of energy.

Do the Treatments Have Side Effects? What about Contraindications?

The advantage of traditional treatments is that they do not have side effects, if the physician who does them masters the techniques and has a thorough knowledge of the human body, so that he should be able to devise the proper treatment to cure the patient. The medicinal herb products are metabolized completely by the body; they do not contain additives or chemical substances; they even help detoxify and cleanse the body of the toxins accumulated in the course of time. The treatments are prescribed for all age categories; only in the case of pregnant women stimulation of certain centers will be avoided.

Why Shall I Choose Pirasan Center of Traditional Medicine?

In the first place it is for their results obtained in treating a number of diseases, considered incurable: endometriosis, rheumatoid arthritis, benign and malignant tumors, pituitary adenoma, hepatic cirrhosis, infertility, uterine fibroma, cerebral atrophy and early stages of Alzheimer disease, etc.

The procedures applied are complex; the treatments act upon the entire body, starting from the energy skeleton and descending towards the organic and the cellular levels. In the traditional medicine, the human being is a microuniverse, a unit of energy and organic systems meant to support a man’s main activities: thinking, searching and discovering, and creating both for himself and for his fellows and for his family. If the doctor sees the patient in this way, he will treat the cause of the diseases in the first place, but also the physical, mental and emotional symptoms, so that the patient may recover and return to his family and to his socio-professional environment.

Do All the Physicians Perform the Same Type of Acupuncture?
