Contact details What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is part of a medical system which originated in China and has been practised for thousands of years. It is a holistic approach to the management of disease as well as the maintenance of health. It is based on the theory that our health is dependent upon the free flow of our body's vital energy or Qi moving in a smooth and balanced way through a network of pathways beneath the skin. These pathways all interconnect and directly influence the functioning of the internal organs and other controlling systems of the body. When the flow of Qi becomes disordered we no longer experience full health or internal harmony. The flow of Qi can be disturbed by a number of factors, such as, stress, our emotions, injury and hereditary factors Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine disposable needles into specific points along the energy pathways which influences the physiological functioning of the body and assists the flow of Qi. The action of needling stimulates the body to rebalance itself, activating our own recuperative and self-healing powers. | |
