About Acupuncture
- Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing sciences that has been practiced for over 4,000 years. It is the treatment of choice for at least a quarter of the world's population.
- It is a safe, gentle and drug free therapy that can be used to elicit health and well being as well as for the prevention of disease.
- This medicine treats individuals holistically, focusing on all aspects of a person’s body, mind and spirit to achieve the person’s highest potential of health.
- Acupuncture moves energy allowing for free flow of qi (pronounced chee), which is considered the “life force.” It encourages the body to promote natural healing and improve functions.
- Qi circulates through energy channels called meridians.
- The Acupuncture Physician identifies blocks and areas of deficient or excess energy, which leads to symptoms, pain and ill health.
- With Acupuncture needles and other means the Acupuncture Physician stimulates certain points to restore the normal balance and flow of qi in the meridians so organs and bodily systems can work together in balance as nature intended.
- Original nature deems the body perfect and with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs we can again reach this state of bliss that allows for harmony within the system.
- Five Element acupuncture reaches the mind and spirit and thus can be used to treat many psychological concerns as well as the physical.
