About Acupuncture

Acupuncture, based on Taoist philosophy is an ancient Chinese therapy of healing that has been practiced continually in the orient for over 2000 years. The aim is to balance the energy meridians to permit the body to "heal itself.

Acupuncturists consider the body and mind as dual aspects of an energetic whole. Illness is a manifestation of a disharmony of life-force (Qi). This Qi circulates through the internal organs and in specific pathways known as meridans throughout the body.

Acupuncture, a relatively painless technique, is the manipulation of fine needles inserted into points along the energy pathways to adjust imbalances within the body and treat disease. Often, acupuncture gives optimal results in conjunction with conventional medicine.
