What is Acupuncture?
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that has been practised for over 2,000 years, originating in China. Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that uses fine needles inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow, encourage healing, and restore balance. It’s a natural, safe, non-invasive method to support your body’s well-being.
How Does it Work?
At its core, acupuncture is based on the concept of Qi (pronounced ‘chee’), the vital life force that flows through pathways in the body called meridians. When Qi is disrupted, it can lead to illness or discomfort.
Acupuncture works by inserting fine needles into specific points along these meridians to restore balance, encourage natural healing, and improve overall well-being.
Modern science supports acupuncture’s effectiveness, showing that it stimulates the nervous system, enhances blood flow, and encourages the release of the body’s natural painkillers.
Don’t Like Needles?
Acupressure is a great alternative for those who aren’t comfortable with needles, providing an effective treatment that works deeply to relieve tension, restore balance, and promote overall well-being.
