Acupuncture: A Natural Approach to Healing and Wellness
Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to restore balance, promote natural healing, and alleviate various health conditions.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
According to TCM, the body has a vital energy called “Qi” (pronounced “chee”), which flows through meridians or energy pathways. When the flow of Qi is disrupted due to stress, injury, or illness, it can lead to physical or emotional imbalances. Acupuncture stimulates specific points along these meridians, promoting optimal energy flow, reducing inflammation, and enhancing the body’s self-healing abilities.
