Acupuncture is a noninvasive form of treatment that promotes natural healing and well being. It is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been around over 5,000 years. It can enhance the immune system, support physical, mental, and emotional health. Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. Acupuncture recognizes a subtle energy system by which Qi (energy, life force) is circulating along a network of channels, or ‘Meridians’. Along those Meridians lie the acupuncture points, and when an acupuncture needle is inserted, it is the Qi that is affected. The Chinese have compared the flow of Qi through the meridian system to water irrigating the land: feeding, nourishing and sustaining the substance through which it flows.
