Acupuncture
|
Acupuncture is one of the traditional branches of Chinese Medicine. It has been used for thousands of years as an effective
technique to catalyze the healing process. An acupuncturist gently stimulates different areas, or points, on the body with
very fine needles to enhance emotional and physical health.
In addition to bringing a sense of wellbeing and emotional balance, this stimulation has been shown to activate the vascular
(blood), endocrine (chemical), sympathetic and parasympathetic (nerve/electrical) communication networks within the body.
The National Institute of Health and the World Health Organization have recognized acupuncture as an effective treatment for
diseases in 26 to 40 disease categories.
Today more people than ever seek help from acupuncture because it:
* Can relieve pain
