Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been around for 6,000 years, utilizing thin needles to support the natural healing processes of the mind and body. It sees the whole body as an integrated system and treats the root of the problem first and the symptoms second, by promoting the flow of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body.
Qi, in Western Medicine, facilitates the transportation of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. It is said that imbalances of Qi throughout the body can cause disease to mind, body and spirit.
"Where there is stagnancy there is pain, emotional-mental upset, and poor spirit, Where there is movement there is absence of pain and emotional-mental upsets"
