Acupuncture

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the insertion of fine sterile needles into specific points along energy pathways in the body known as meridians. These points have been mapped out by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years and recent electromagnetic research has confirmed their location. Acupuncture is a safe method of stimulating the body’s ability to heal by unblocking and rebalancing the flow of QI, pronounced chee, which is the vital energy circulation of the body. When combined with Chinese herbs , nutritional supplementation and cupping the effectiveness is strengthened.
