Acupuncture, a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a therapeutic method for addressing pain and disease. It involves the careful placement of slender, filiform needles at specific points on the body. These points align with acupuncture meridians, which are closely related to nerve and vascular routes. Each meridian, as per Chinese Medicine, influences particular organs and their corresponding bodily functions. Acupuncture operates on the Asian concept of ‘Qi’, or life force, and by rectifying Qi imbalances in the body, symptoms are tackled at their source.
Acupuncture procedures are safe, efficacious, and gentle, suitable for treating both physical ailments and emotional issues, such as stress, anxiety, and depression.
Advantages of Acupuncture:
- Bolsters the immune system
- Facilitates faster recovery from illness or injury
- Enhances circulation and metabolism
- Triggers the release of endorphins – the body’s natural pain relievers
- Establishes balance within the body
