What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a type of natural healing practice derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine where hair-thin, fine needles are inserted into carefully selected “Acupoints” on the body to adjust the body’s life energy or “Qi”.
Acupuncture needles have a smooth and rounded tip verses the sharp tips of conventional needles. The round tips are designed to gently push aside the tissue without puncturing it. With its both solid and thin frame, it can glide through the space between the individual cells of the tissue, allowing access to specific places (“Acupoints”) in the tissue where the “Qi” is collecting.

👉🏼 🌍 The eastern perspective
This stems from the belief that illness occurs when the body is out of balance or when something is blocking or affecting energy flow. “Qi” is all of the essential life energy that is flowing through the body and the motivating force of all physiological processes. We stimulate specific points located along the energy channels that connect all the major organs. This stimulation releases the blockage of “Qi” and promotes the body’s natural healing capabilities. While Western medicine has been around for centuries, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for millennia. The first record of TCM dates back over 2,000 years, though it is believed that the origin of TCM goes back for more than 5,000 years. Over the course of its history, experiences and techniques prove that TCM works effectively.
👉🏼 🌎 The western perspective
Scientific research has revealed much about the acupoint. Acupoints are shown to be located in high concentrations of nerve bundles and nerve endings, mast cells (used for immune response), lymphatic ducts, and capillaries. Acupuncture channels also show up as different colors than surrounding tissues on films taken with infrared imaging. Western research has also indicated further benefits of acupuncture on the body’s physiological processes.
