What Is Acupuncture?


Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese healing practice that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. An ancient and modern medicine used to improve blood and energy flow in the body. This relaxes muscles and tension in the body allowing relaxation and Theta like dream state in the brain. Which is the healing state the body does the most repair.

An Ancient Medicine using wholistic diagnosis and treatment with herbs, diet, and a variety of body therapies such as Cupping, Gua Sha, ( Scraping) and Acupuncture.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture is over 6000 yrs old in practice and it is based on an energetic meridian system that runs through our bodies. Each point carries a different adjustment for the body. This system of treatment is very relaxing and best for any internal imbalance, emotional, sleep and digestive related conditions.

Benefits of Acupuncture


Balancing Energy Flow
: Acupuncture is based on the concept of "qi" (pronounced "chee"), which is the vital energy that flows through the body along meridians or pathways. Acupuncturists believe that illness or discomfort can occur when there are blockages or imbalances in the flow of qi. Acupuncture aims to restore harmony by stimulating specific acupuncture points to regulate the flow of energy, helping the body heal itself.

Modulating the Nervous System: Acupuncture has been found to influence the nervous system. When acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points, they can trigger the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body. Additionally, acupuncture can affect the autonomic nervous system, helping to regulate functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. This modulation of the nervous system can contribute to pain relief, reduced stress, and improved overall well-being.

Holistic Healing: Acupuncture is a holistic approach to health that considers the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. It's not just about treating specific symptoms but addressing the root causes of health issues. Acupuncturists take into account an individual's physical, emotional, and mental well-being when developing treatment plans. This holistic perspective can lead to improved overall health, increased relaxation, and a sense of balance.
