What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine which has been tried and tested over many hundreds of years. While it is a very old system of help, acupuncture remains a modern choice for many people and can work very well alongside current western medicine.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into acupuncture points which are situated all over the body. By inserting a needle, the acupuncturist is able to manipulate an individual’s personal energy, known as Qi. (Pronounced ‘chee’).
When a person is unwell the Qi stops circulating correctly around the body. By inserting needles Qi is encouraged to return to its natural balance.
The flow of Qi can be affected by many things, for example an injury, wear and tear on joints, poor diet, emotional strains like grief and overwork. These will then present as symptoms to the individual, for example, pain, insomnia or a whole list of other disorders. The aim of acupuncture is to return an individual’s natural equilibrium.
