What are Birkenstock acupuncture shoes? Can simply wearing a type of shoes aid in the health of our body?
First we need to know what acupuncture is. Acupuncture is the family of ancient Chinese holistic medicine used to stimulate the body in a set path of points on the body using a variety of methods. The most widely known form of acupuncture is the method of pricing the skin with thin, metal needles that are controlled by some form of stimulation, either electrical or by hand.
Acupuncture meridians are points that allow entry into our body's Qi (Chi) to help restore emotional, spiritual and physical balance. Instead of causing pain, needle insertion creates different sensations like warmth or feelings of pressure. The feeling can be relaxing and pleasant.
When the bones of the feet become misaligned, they cause the meridian energy flows that travel through the foot to become blocked. This blockage of flow causes health problems to the related organs. The foot meridian is related to the spleen, gallbladder, bladder, stomach, liver and kidney organs. The health of your foot is necessary for proper balance of the acupuncture energy system.
The original Birkenstock shoes contoured footbed was created by a German, Konrad Birkenstock in 1897. Birkenstock sandals have changed over the years but the comfort and support remain the same. The specially designed footbed is well known for its arch support. The lightweight sole absorbs shock when you take a step. Some of the more common conditions resulting from poor shoes include low back pain, plantar fasciitis and heel pain, and problems with toes. A common prescription for many of these conditions is shoes with proper arch support and acupuncture treatments. So as we can see, Birkenstock acupuncture shoes just might be the thing to relieve our body's imbalance.
