WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
Traditional acupuncture is one of the world’s oldest systems of medicine, based on over 2,000 years of development in the Far East. It is an holistic approach to health which aims to improve the overall well-being of the patient, rather than treat individual symptoms.
Any illness or symptom is seen as an imbalance in the person’s energy. An individual diagnosis is made of the person’s disharmony and a personal treatment plan is worked out.
Our health is seen as dependent on the body’s energy, known as “qi”, moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin. The flow of "qi" can be disturbed, depleted and blocked and result in symptoms of pain, illness or disease. The acupuncturist aims to re-establish the energy balance by inserting very fine needles into the channels of energy, thus stimulating the body’s own healing response and promoting physical and emotional harmony.
