Acupuncture
is a millenniums old medical practice
originating in China.
It is an energetic healing
method using the bodies own resources
to correct imbalances and restore health.
Acupuncture uses tiny needles to
tap into channels or "meridians" that
run the entire body. These energy channels
connect with all of the organs and when
there is free flow there is health. When
there is blockage (caused by injury or
insufficient organ function), there can
be an excess of energy buildup in one
area affecting that channel, resulting
in a deficiency elsewhere. What the
acupuncturist does, is determine the
location and source of the imbalance,
and inserts hair thin needles to redirect
the energy into proper balance.
