WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture works according to the principals of Traditional Chinese Medecine (TCM) where illness is caused by a blockage of vital life energy (Qi). Fine needles are placed at specific points (Acu Points) which follow energy pathways (Meridians) to restore the smooth flow of energy. This stimulates the bodies self healing abilities and increases vitality.

Acupuncture also activates the release of endorphins - the bodies natural pain relievers. It affects the functioning of the hormonal system promoting decreases in inflammation, increased circulation and pain relief.

Like Tui-Na, Acupuncture goes beyond the muscles, bones and joints to work with the body on a deeper, energetic level.

''The Tao is the one

From the one come Yin and Yang

From these two, creative Qi

From Qi, ten thousand things

The forms of all creation''  (Tao 42)
