What Is Acupuncture ?

Acupuncture is a technique of insertion and manipulation of fine needles in specific points on the body to achieve therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture has been practiced widely in China for more than 4000 years and is an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine.

Acupuncture is not only a medical treatment but it’s been a part of preserving good health for thousands of years.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force that flows through pathways (meridians) in your body. These meridians and energy flows are accessible through 361 acupuncture points in the body.

"Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance of these forces. By inserting needles into these points with appropriate combinations is said to bring the energy flow back into proper balance"
