Acupuncture

The Chinese believe that every living being possesses a universal life energy called “qi.”  

 

This energy circulates throughout the body along pathways called “meridians,” which surface on the skin at certain points.  

 

Each point is then connected to a specific internal organ and body part.  When qi flows smoothly, patients experience good health.  

 

When qi is blocked, the system is disrupted and illness occurs. 

 

Acupuncture helps the body to heal itself by opening the energy meridians and stimulating the flow of qi.  Scientific research has discovered that the acupuncture points show a variety of unique bioelectrical properties.  

 

Stimulation of these points causes definite physiological reactions affecting brain activity, blood pressure, heart rate and the immune system.
