Conditions That Acupuncture Treats

Poor Eyesight & Eye Conditions

According to some studies, when the body is experiencing an imbalance, it can become an eye problem or condition. When acupuncture is done, any imbalances within the body that are causing symptoms will be taken care of as it helps to restore the body’s energy, known as Qi. Eye acupuncture is mainly focused on promoting adequate circulation of Qi and blood around the eyes, and acupuncture can be used as an alternative treatment for chronic dry eye syndrome. To further these claims, numerous studies have been conducted that have proven the effectiveness of acupuncture for treating poor eyesight and eye diseases.

These studies have shown that acupuncture can reduce the temperature of the afflicted eye’s surface, alleviating evaporation of the eye’s natural tears throughout the day, helping those with dry eye syndrome. Acupuncture is also used as an alternative remedy for glaucoma, as studies have proven that eye pressure caused by this condition significantly decreased after a session. Other studies have shown that acupuncture successfully reduces symptoms of allergic and inflammatory eye disease, as well as macular degeneration and cataracts.
