Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice that has been used for thousands of years to promote health and well-being. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points or acupoints. These needles are typically inserted to varying depths, depending on the specific condition being treated.

Principles and Philosophy:

• Acupuncture is based on the belief that there is a vital life energy called “Qi” (pronounced “chee”) that flows through pathways in the body known as meridians.
• When Qi becomes imbalanced or blocked, it can lead to physical or emotional health problems.
• Acupuncture aims to restore the balance and flow of Qi within the body, promoting healing and well-being.
