What is acupuncture and how does it work?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the world and has been around for at least 2,000 years. Today, acupuncture is quickly growing in popularity as it is effective and natural.
When the body is in a healthy state, an abundance of Qi (pronounced chee), or “life energy”, flows. Due to stress, poor diet, lack of sleep and other issues, a person’s Qi may become stagnant or out of balance, leading to many health issues. The insertion of acupuncture needles aims to restore balance and flow of Qi, thus restoring health naturally.
