Introduction to Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice that has been used for over 2,000 years. It involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints, to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This holistic treatment is based on the belief that the body has vital energy, or “qi” (pronounced “chi”), that flows along pathways called meridians. When the flow of qi is disrupted, it can lead to physical and mental health issues. Acupuncture aims to restore the balance of this energy and, in turn, promote wellness.
