About Acupuncture
Chinese medicine is a complete medical system that has prevented, diagnosed and treated illness for over 3,000 years. It is based on theories for restoring harmony in the life force of the body, called Qi, by using acupuncture and Chinese herbs. These unblock the body and allow the Qi to circulate naturally and smoothly through the body in pathways called meridians. These meridians traverse and nourish your body as streams and rivers traverse and nourish the earth. Rivers can flood, dry up, become dammed, or become poisoned — metaphors for what can happen to the vital energy in your body. When this happens, your body may show distress signals in the form of symptoms. In addition, stress can cause the Qi to slow down, leading to depression and anxiety.
Acupuncture and other aspects of Chinese medicine are known to be helpful in relieving physical complaints. They can also help balance our minds and spirits so that all of our symptoms are alleviated and we are able to take better care of ourselves. Treatment allows you to experience a greater sense of ease in life, and this enables you to deal with the ups and downs of life in a more balanced manner.
