What is Acupuncture and what is it used
for?
Acupuncture has been the standard of medical
care in China for more than 3000 years. Acupuncturists treat
the body as a system of organs interconnected by meridians
and channels in which energy [chi] flows. Disease develops
when the energy [chi] is blocked and the balance of the body
systems are disturbed. Health is maintained and disease or
pain can be prevented by restoring the flow of energy [chi]
in the meridians and channels.
Acupuncture often can effectively
treat many diseases and illnesses such as arthritis, chronic
pain, carpal tunnel, complications related to strokes, PCOS,
maternity care, and digestive disorders. Acupuncture has a
broad range of application in both chronic and acute disorders including: allergies, anxiety, asthma, addiction, constipation, chronic fatigue, depression, diarhea, headaches, heartburn, IBS, menopause, migraines, nausea, PMS, sciatica and pain syndromes.
