Acupuncture

 Acupuncture literally means “needle piercing” and originated in China over 2,000 years ago. Thin needles are applied on specific meridian points in the skin, in order to adjust the body’s Qi (life energy). The meridian is the energy channel from which energy flows, passing through all bodily systems. Each organ has a specific points along the meridian to which it corresponds. The motion of applying the needles regulates the flow of energy to balance excess or deficient energies and removes blockages to stimulate flow to the area so that the energy can be well dispersed. When balanced, the body functions efficiently.

Acupuncture can be used to treat specific conditions or to stimulate the body’s natural healing energy to give a sensation of inner peace, relaxation and well-being. It is very effective in easing stress and anxiety, addictions, depression, insomnia, pain, allergies, menstrual and menopausal problems and many other chronic or acute conditions

A course of treatment with an acupuncturist will vary depending on your individual needs. Your emotional state after each session may also vary noticeably.
