What is Acupuncture ?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical art that works with the body’s intrinsic energy (called Chi).
Chi flows through our bodies via a system of meridians or energy pathways. The Chi in the meridians should be free flowing, but any number of factors such as stress, diet, lifestyle, environment and even genetics can disturb this flow.
At specific points along these pathways, the Chi becomes stronger and more accessible and these points are where the very fine acupuncture needles are placed.
By precise placement and subtle manipulation of the needles, the practitioner can help direct and restore the flow of the body’s Chi that is the source of harmonious body function.
