Traditional Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese theories that states all living beings are comprised of Qi(Energy) and Xue(Blood) which flows along pathways called meridians through out the body much the same way as the nervous and circulatory systems.
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points that lay on these meridians. Stimulating these points will influence physiological functioning, treating specific health problems or diseases and thus helping the body heal itself.

How does Acupuncture work?

Energy/ Qi flows along channels or pathways are called meridians through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues and organs.

In order for health to be maintained, the energy must flow smoothly.
Bodily malfunction, pain and illness will occur when the flow is disrupted, blocked or stagnate. By stimulating the acupuncture points at specific sites this will move the stagnation balancing the body and restoring health.

Advanced medical research has determined that stimulation of acupuncture points produces definite physiological reactions in the body such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure, intestinal activity and blood chemistry. These immediate effects quickly aid in deadening pain, boosting the immune system to fight infection, regulate glands and promote the healing process.
