Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the gently insertion of tiny thread like needles in specific points near the surface of the body. With accurate needle insertion the energy of the body is circulated through meridians to all parts of the body, even the most remote cells. Such stimulation helps restore the normal balance and flow of energy allowing organs and bodily systems to work together in harmony as intended. This sets the stage for the body to repair itself and maintain its own health. Additionally acupuncture is a beneficial treatment for stress reduction, depression and mental clarity.

What are the main objectives of Acupuncture treatments?

There are three main objectives.

1. Relieve pain and other symptoms
2. Strengthen the immune system
3. Balance, harmonize, and integrate functions of the organs with each other making for a unified, healthy person, rather than a collection of fragmented, disharmonies parts.
