What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced and respected forms of complimentary medicine. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. It can be a tool to learn about your body, habits, patterns and uniqueness. Whether it’s emotional or physical pain, it is a medicine and tool to learn about ourselves in a deeper way.
