Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very fine sterile needles into the skin at certain anatomical points in the body to the relieve the symptoms of a wide variety of diseases. Acupuncture points are thought to have electrical properties which effect the brain’s neuro-transmitters and encourage the body’s natural healing processes. There are 365 commonly used points in the body and over 2,000 acupuncture points in total connected via pathways, or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow (Qi, pronounced “chee”) through the body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of this energy flow can cause disease and acupuncture can correct these imbalances by improving the flow of Qi.
Acupuncture originated in China more than 2,500 years ago and is growing in popularity world-wide as a safe, effective and painless system of healing.
