How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture is an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a long history of more than 4000 years. It is an old practice based on observation of nature, human’s emotions and lifestyles.

It applies an approach combing the body and mind to regulate the energy (Qi) and blood flow through meridian channels of the whole body, thus strengthen the body’s self-defense and self-healing functions and regain homeostasis of the whole body.
