What is acupuncture and how does it work?
Acupuncture consists of inserting fine needles into specific locations on the body in order to treat various health problems. How it works remains somewhat of a mystery to modern Western medicine, but according to Chinese medical theory it works by way of effecting qi (CHEE). Qi is the subtle energy of the body which flows via pathways while regulating and permeating all tissues and organs. Proper distribution and flow of energy is essential for balance and harmony within the body. Factors such as stress, injury, dietary indiscretion, and age can all
negatively affect the balance and free flow of qi resulting in illness and disease. Acupuncture works by restoring the proper flow and distribution of qi.
