Is Acupuncture The Antidote To Modern Life?

As modern life has us more in need of healing than ever, the ancient technique practiced for millennia remains firmly at the forefront of wellness

For much of the Western world, the stress of survival has largely been eliminated. Yet, as if to fill the gap, a host of new stresses have taken its place. Many of us are now preoccupied with proving our worth, staying relevant, and realising our potential—both at work and in our personal lives. But if you silently suspect that the concept of having it all feels more like doing it all, you might be onto something. Enter the modern-day healers.

The rise of the energetic doctor

“Modern lifestyle consists of many ups and downs and for the majority of city dwellers, their lives carry tremendous amounts of stress forcing people into attachments, addictions, and bad health choices that become habits,” says Dr. Igor Micunovic.

Energetic Doctor at One&Only Portonovi’s Chenot Espace, who specialises in root cause healing through energetic practices. “Most of us are goal-oriented, busy, stressed, and often confused about our roles and goals. Healing reduces physical, emotional and mental pain including addiction in any form, so the practice of healing is vital now more than ever because it restores health and function, enabling individuals to live fulfilling lives.”

Energetic Doctors might not yet be mainstream but as our ‘too busy’ lives step further away from rest, contemplation and the natural world, the need for energy restoration and rebalance, becomes increasingly apparent.

And therein lies the role of energetic doctors, whose aim is to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, by addressing the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit for comprehensive healing rather than just symptom relief.

Modern healing through ancient practices

Though acupuncture is probably best known for its use in pain management including for nerve pain, arthritic pain, injury pain, and muscular pain, it’s also well proven as a highly effective treatment for allergies, hot flushes, irritable bowel syndrome, urinary tract infections, heartburn, and respiratory issues.

Stimulation of acupuncture points is well-documented to increase the production of endorphins and simultaneously activate the immune and endocrine systems. Over the years acupuncture has evolved and become integrated with modern medicine, maintaining relevance by confirmed effectiveness in clinical trials. As a modern wellness treatment, acupuncture is now widely used to help reduce the signs of aging in the skin, boost sleep quality, and support weight loss in tandem with the Chenot Diet®.

Holistic healing at Chenot

As a world leading Energetic Doctor with a deep knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr Igor is a master of modern acupuncture, employing the healing powers of Chenot Espace’s laser and needle acupuncture treatments as part of the Chenot Bio-Energetic Treatment.

His treatments begin with an in-depth consultation, observational TCM diagnostics and then the use of high-tech diagnostic tools including a bioenergetic resonance scanner to evaluate body-mind-soul parameters.

Energy treatment is then a combination of acupuncture needle therapy, whereby single-use needles are inserted into different body parts to stimulate body systems and acupuncture laser therapy – the latest adaptation of traditional acupuncture using low-level lasers instead of needles to stimulate acupuncture points on the body.

Dr Igor is also an expert practitioner at Auricular therapy, or ear acupuncture, which involves stimulating specific points on the ear.

“It’s based on the idea that the ear is a microsystem reflecting the entire body, with points corresponding to different organs and body parts. To stimulate auricular points we can use acupuncture needles, laser therapy, electrical stimulation, or pressure with seeds or beads.”

Auricular therapy can be hugely beneficial to the most prevalent of modern complaints including those who suffer tension headaches and migraines, high levels of stress, anxiety and insomnia. It’s also an effective technique used for female hormonal imbalances, regulating menstrual cycles and alleviating the many symptoms of menopause. Moreover, in the cases of those seeking support for addiction recovery, auricular therapy is widely credited with managing withdrawal symptoms from nicotine, alcohol, drugs and other substances.

Alongside the plethora of futuristic clinical treatments and cutting-edge technologies we are now so privileged to utilise, turning to the long-trusted practices of the ancients can be every bit as beneficial. We might not consider our fast-paced contemporary lives having much in common with that of our ancestors but stress has proven itself to be timeless only thankfully, so is the art of healing.
