The Features and Benefits of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Over the past few decades, there has been a surge of interest worldwide in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. For thousands of years the Chinese have appreciated it for its beneficial effect, wide range of use and non-pharmaceutical approach.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is looked upon as an integrated energy system. Stimulating one area of the energy system will have an effect on different areas of the system. The human body is constantly trying to maintain homeostasis by balancing its energy systems.

There are over 2000 acupuncture points on the body, which are all connected by pathways called meridians. These meridians conduct energy or Qi (Chee) between the surface and the internal organs. Each point has a different effect on the body through which the Qi passes. Thin disposable pre-sterilized needles are gently inserted into specific acu-points and meridians to assist in recovery of disease processes. Acupuncture works to promote balance within the body creating free flow of movement in the body – hence, a healthy body, mind, and spirit. |
