Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient system of
medicine which has been practised in China and other Eastern
countries for thousands of years. It began with the discovery that
stimulating certain areas of the body affected the functioning of
specific organs.
According to traditional Chinese
philosophy, our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy
- known as qi (chee) - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a
series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin. The flow of qi can
be disturbed by many factors, physical, mental and emotional:
anxiety, stress, anger fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather
conditions, hereditary factors, infections, poisons and trauma.
By inserting fine needles into the channels
of energy,
an acupuncturist can stimulate the body's own healing
response and help to restore its natural balance.
