Acupuncture

Acupuncture, which has been used for a very long time in East Asia including China, Korea, and Japan, is the oldest and most frequently used therapeutic practice that mankind has practiced. This acupuncture restores the balance of the energy-life force (Qi, pronounced ‘Chee’) of the human body that has been broken for a number of reasons. Acupuncture is typically used primarily to treat pain and is being used for a wider variety of diseases, overall wellness, and stress management.

The purpose of acupuncture is to restore normal energy flow in our body. If the normal energy flow of our body is disturbed by various causes, such as climate and environment, stress, overwork, inappropriate eating, disease factors, and other lifestyle habits, the meridians, considered to be the channel of the qi, are blocked and the qi cannot flow. As a result, there is an imbalance, such as lack of energy in some places or overflow in others. As time passes with our body’s balance being broken, our body will suffer from diseases and pain. Acupuncture can change this unbalanced flow of energy in our body.​
