Acupuncture |
| Acupuncture is based on theories of energy flow in the human body. Just as there are channels in the body for blood to move, and channels for nerves to travel, there are channels for energy to flow. It is these channels of energy that are accessed with Acupuncture, by inserting extremely thin needles into the body at specific points to stimulate Energy, or "Qi". |
| The needles used are sterilized and disposed of after one use. |
|
Acupuncture is a safe and gentle way of shifting the body towards healing. Chinese Medicine can include acupuncture, herbal remedies, Massage, and Chinese nutritional dietary advice. |

The practice of Chinese Herbal medicine stretches back more than 5,000 years. Today, Chinese medicine represents the cumulative clinic experience and medical theories of five millennia of continuous practice by traditional Chinese physicians. It is becoming more commonly used throughout the western cultures because it remains a safe and comprehensive system of medical care. |

The World Health Organization of the United Nations (WHO) notes that of 119 plant-derived pharmaceutical medicines, close to 74% are used in modern medicine in ways that correlate directly with their traditional uses a plant medicine by native cultures. |
