Discover the Phenomenon Associated
With ACUPUNCTURE!

Acupuncture is one of the world’s most ancient & long-standing  therapies, dating back  to at
least 2000  years in China and other parts of East Asia, and today, is an increasingly popular
form of health care. 

As a complete and holistic  health  care system, Acupuncture, often used  in conjunction with Traditional Chinese Medicine, has a strong  foundation not  only in the  treatment of disease
and understanding of disease processes, but also in the prevention of disease & supporting
a healthy organism.

Acupuncture works from the premise that qi (pronounced chee) or "life energy" flows
through the body's meridians (a network of invisible channels through the body). 

If the  flow of qi in  the meridians becomes  blocked or there is an inadequate supply of qi,
then the body fails to maintain harmony, balance and order, and disease or illness follows. 

Poor qi can result  from a range  of issues including ongoing stress, overwork,  synthetic  substances,  poor  diet, disease  pathogens, environmental conditions, and other lifestyle
factors.

Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture
points that lie along these meridians. 

The needles  serve to clear energy  blockages and encourage the normal flow of qi through
the individual.
