What is Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine?
Acupuncture is a component of Chinese Medicine…
Acupuncture is a component of Chinese Medicine that uses fine needles along meridians and points on those meridians to restore and maintain the flow of qi. The meridians and their corresponding organs and energetic systems provide a roadmap for common imbalances and strategies to restore them. Using needles, as well as acupressure, cupping, gua sha, essential oils, and Tui Na (Chinese massage) to restore the flow of qi allows the body to heal itself from a place of greatest equilibrium.
Chinese Medicine has a robust organ energetic system of anatomy that has a strong emotional component. This medicine recognizes the deep connection between physical health and our emotional state and the nature of our thoughts. Using these ancient patterns used for thousands of years, we can identify common imbalances and seek to restore balance via dietary guidance, physical practices, and emotional awareness.
