What is Acupuncture?Qi, or Life Force, flows through a network of twelve pathways, or meridians. Each meridian is internally connected to specific organs or glands. Along these meridians are specific acupuncture points which affect the corresponding organ system. When the acupuncture needles are inserted into these specific points, the meridians are opened to allow the qi to flow properly, thus restoring health by balancing and harmonizing the energy in the body. From a Western perspective, these points increase blood flow and aid in reducing inflammatory response to speed healing. They also stimulate hormonal changes, such as releasing endorphins, in order to aid in the reduction of pain. Also see the Acupuncture page. |
Herbal Remedies and SupplementsHerbal medicine is a powerful method of healing. Chinese herbs treat the full range of human disease, from acute conditions such as the common cold to chronic conditions such as asthma. Herbs are especially effective for promoting the body’s ability to heal and recuperate. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs that only treat symptoms with the risk of unwanted side effects, Chinese herbs treat the underlying condition, restoring the body’s balance, strengthening the immune system and rarely causing unwanted side effects. |
