What
Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a system of medicine that is over 3,000 years old
and originated in the Orient. Acupuncture works by balancing the
body's natural flow of Qi (life energy). Its principles are widely
based on the laws of nature. This system of healing allows the
body to maintain natural homeostasis and promote its own natural
healing.
Traditional Acupuncture
is a deep level of treatment that is directed at underlying imbalances
that cause symptoms and disease. These imbalances can occur on
a body, mind and spirit level and all of these are connected.
Disease or illness is often caused by the Qi not flowing well
or not flowing in the proper direction.
How Acupuncture Works:
Acupuncture works by inserting needles just below the skin surface
at particular locations on the body called acupuncture points.
These points are located all over the body and run along channels
referred to as meridians.
Insertion
of the needles aids the Qi in starting to move and move in the
correct direction which is necessary to promote health.
About
The Needles:
Acupuncture needles are made of stainless steel and come in sterile
packages. The needles are no thicker than several strands of human
hair and are used only once. Sensations of the needle insertion
vary from person to person and are relatively painless.

Acupuncture
