::How does Acupuncture work?

 

 

The life force or Qi, (pronounced chee) is the vital energy, which keeps the body, mind and spirit alive and functioning properly. 

 

Qi flows throughout the body through pathways known as Meridians, as a result, the body has the innate knowledge to repair itself should any damage or disease occur.


Disease manifests when Qi becomes weakened, blocked or out of balance. The ancient masters traced the pathways Qi travels and located points where is communicates with the surface of the body.


Modern science has been able to measure increased electrical charge at these points, corroborating the locations of energetic pathways or meridians. These points along the meridians are used for acupuncture and moxibustion therapy.
