ABOUT ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is an ancient medicine that has stood the test of time. Why? Simply because it works. Together with lifestyle, diet, exercise, nutrition and herbal medicine, it comprises Traditional East Asian Medicine. It is a safe and natural way for promoting your body to use its natural reserves for healing and prevention, whether the issue is physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual.
At a basic level, it is the insertion of very fine, sterilized needles into specific points on the body located along the meridians. Meridians are often compared to rivers. These rivers carry vital energy or "Qi" (pronounced chee). When meridians become blocked by daily stressors, lifestyle, or injury (among other factors), disease or imbalances occurs. Acupuncture works to unblock these obstructions and aid the body in achieving optimal health and harmony. Your flow of energy is invigorated.
