Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine sterile needles into the body at specific points according to energy pathways. These points stimulate or calm the flow of energy or qi in the body. Insertion of the needles goes unnoticed by some, and to others feels like a small pinch followed by a sensation of tingling, numbness, ache, traveling warmth, or heaviness.

Benefits of acupuncture, explained by Western Medicine, are achieved through the release of endorphins. Acupuncture triggers the nerve receptors and the communication with the brain. It also positively affects the endocrine and nervous system, assisting the body to achieve balance and homeostasis.

Acupuncture, like other natural therapies, seeks to correct imbalances rather than just treat symptoms. While it can remedy ailments and alter psychological well-being, Chinese medicine can also enhance recuperative power, immunity, and the capacity for pleasure, work, and creativity.
