Acupuncture
Oriental medicine is a holistic system that facilitates the body’s natural healing potential.
Acupuncture originated in China over 3,000 years ago and is presently used as a primary healthcare system throughout the world. It is a method of balancing and building the body’s life force or qi (pronounced “chee”). Traditional Chinese Medicine views disease as the result of imbalance or blockage in the body’s natural energy flow. Such imbalance manifests in physical, emotional, and psychosomatic stress-related disorders.
Thin, sterile, stainless steel needles are inserted into specific points along meridians (the energy pathways) in order to disperse blockage and mobilize the body’s natural immune response.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have found acupuncture to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical concerns including, but not limited to:
Anxiety and depression
Alzheimer’s
Anemia and blood disorders
