What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points of electromagnetic frequency and power. Acupuncture is known to be effective in the treatment of specific health issues or imbalances in the energy paradigm. These points are mapped on meridians or channels that form a warp and weft grid along the body that conduct qi or energy. These special and sacred points are called “acupoints”. Acupuncture has been used for over 3000 years to treat disease and promote well being, increase immunity and support preventative health care.
All Oriental medicine (East Asian) modalities are intended to improve the flow of Qi (pronounced “chee”). Qi Regulates the body’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and is influenced by the opposing forces of yin (negative charge/energy) and yang (positive charge/ energy). According to traditional Chinese Medicine, when yin and yang are balanced, they work together with the natural flow of qi to help the body achieve and maintain health.
According to the NIH (National Institutes of Health) consensus panel of scientists, researchers, and practitioners who convened in November 1997. Clinical studies have shown that acupuncture is an effective treatment for nausea caused by surgical anesthesia and cancer-related treatments, as well as for dental pain experienced after surgery.
