Acupuncture

The intent of acupuncture

Promote health and alleviate pain.

Acupuncture views of health and sickness

  • Vital energy, energetic balance, energetic imbalance
  • The pathway of flow of the body's energy is through Meridians or Channels
  • Acupuncture points (acupoints) are stimulated by small thin needles (most acupuncturists use disposable needles). Today, many additional forms of stimulation are incorporated including herbs, electricity, magnets, and lasers. The aim is to adjust the "vital energy"
