Acupuncture is an ancient medical healing art which has
been used for over 2,500 years in china. It is based on
belief that health is determined by a balanced flow of Qi,
the vital life energy present in all living organisms. This
energy is said to circulate throughout the body along spe-
cific pathways(meridians).Health is maintained, but once
the energy pathways are blocked, pain and illness occur
as the result of a disrupted free flow of Qi.
Through acupuncture, body, mind, spirit balance can be res-
tored with the insertion of hair thin sterile disposable needles
at specific points on energy meridians on the body through
which Qi flows, accessing Qi to stimulate the person’s own
self-healing ability.
