Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing developed over thousands of years as part of the traditional medicine of China, Japan & other Eastern countries. It has evolved into a system of medicine that restores & maintains health by the insertion of fine needles into acupuncture points just beneath the body surface. These points are in very specific locations and lie on channels of energy. Moxibustion, the warming of acupuncture points through the use of smoldering herbs, is often used as a supplement and the needles may also be stimulated using a small electric current. It is extremely effective in a wide variety of conditions through its power to stimulate the mind & body’s own healing response.
