Everyone has heard of acupuncture, but do you know how it works?
In theory, it involves inserting fine sterile needles into specific points on the body to adjust the flow of energy and promote circulation. We believe that this can restore the body's physiological equilibrium (aka. yin, yang, qi, blood and fluids). These points are distributed along a 'highway' in which energy travels fast (meridians). The meridians also travel into the body to connect to the internal organs and body systems.
Hence acupuncture looks at the body as a whole, or it’s what we call a holistic approach.
Acupuncture aims to enhance natural healing, boost metabolism, improve circulation, relieve pain, strengthen immunity, regulate emotions, and enhance sleep. It's rooted in Traditional Chinese medicine, which links physical health to energy balance. By stimulating acupuncture points, it restores normal body functions, safely and effectively, under the guidance of a qualified acupuncturist.
