Acupuncture is one modality that is part of a rich + foundational medical system, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Acupuncture is a practice built on a holistic approach of more than 2,500 years of Chinese medicine.
How Acupuncture effects the body can be explained in western medical terms and in the traditional sense of how and why the medicine works. A person’s health is the result of a harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang and Qi. Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance of these forces.
Qi and Energy flows through meridians, or fascia, nerves, + arteries. The meridians and energy imbalances are accessible through hundreds of acupuncture points on the body. Tiny needles are inserted into these points to help restore the body’s healthy state.
The flow of Qi can be disrupted by:
Stress + Burnout
Injuries
Foods + Sleep Habits
Environmental Toxins
Past Emotional Traumas
