General information

Acupuncture has been a part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. It involves inserting fine single- use needles into specific points on the skin of the body or applying various other techniques to the acupuncture points to bring about healing. We select and stimulate specific points according to your condition to correct imbalance in the flow of Qi through the channel known as meridians. This Qi ( pronounced Chee) can be interpreted as life force or Energy force, and circulate the along the invisible network of channel known as meridian
There are 360 acupuncture points on the body, and they form 12 regular meridians. For example, Meridian is railway and acupuncture point is a train station. Like train cannot be operated if a train station is under work or there is blockage by something on the railway, when Qi of flow in the meridian is obstructed, then body may lose physiological balance or harmony, and disease may follow. This Qi disruption can be resulted from inadequate life style such as stress, overwork, poor diet, weather and environmental condition. In those cases acupuncture will work very effectively. By needling into specific points, the Qi of flow will be restored & promoted, and the disruption can be corrected.
