Acupuncture: An introduction

Acupuncture one of the oldest form of therapy in the world was originated in china over 3000 years ago is one of the major component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This unique treatment involves the insertion of fine needles into Acupuncture points, which are entryways into the body’s energetic channels (meridians). It is through these special points that the body’s vital energy Qi can be manipulated, stimulated, or sedated to potentially restore balance on an emotional, spiritual, and physical level. Health is achieved by maintaining the body in a balanced state and that disease is as a result of an internal imbalance.

Acupuncture harmonizes and balances Qi, which is the vital energy or life force that runs through your body. Qi travels through pathways or channels in your body. When Qi is blocked and causes a lack of smooth flow or balance, symptoms of pain or disease may result. Acupuncture works to release this energy and restore the balance and flow of Qi within your body.
Also reduces pain by unblocking the Qi and restoring balance to the body.  It also helps patients who suffer with painful conditions such as: arthritis, migraine headaches, allergies, back pain, premenstrual syndrome, addictions, depression, sleep disorders and many other maladies. It is also a useful method to maintain health and vitality.
