About Acupuncture
 
Acupuncture is a 3000-year-old Asian health tradition founded upon the principle that medical symptoms are manifestations of a root cause. Diagnosis seeks to determine and treat that root with acupuncture and herbal medicine as it’s core, with the addition of nutrition and exercise. Restoring the Flow of Energy Chinese Medicine states there is a continuous flow of life energy (Qi) throughout the human body. This vital energy originates from our major organs and flows along continuous circulatory channels called meridians. Should this energy become blocked, the balance is disturbed and a person will feel ill or pain. By stimulating specific points along the meridians, energy flow can be regulated so the function of related organs can be balanced. Western Research Confirms Benefits Western researchers have verified physiological changes during and following treatment that include a strengthened immune system, release of endorphins, and improved function of the endocrine system. The National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization are two leading medical authorities that have conducted research and confirmed the benefits of Acupuncture.
