Acupuncture involves inserting thin, sterile needles into your body to stimulate specific acupoints. It is based on the TCM concept that energy, or Qi, circulates throughout our body along energy pathways called meridians.  Each meridian is connected to a specific organ system and has important stimulation points situated along it, called acupoints.

In a healthy person, Qi flows smoothly along the meridians, and energy is well-dispersed throughout the channels. Energy flow may be disrupted by a variety of pathogenic (disease-causing) factors, such as wind, cold or dampness. This causes the energy flow to be imbalanced within the body, and pain or symptoms will arise.  Acupuncture will restore your internal energy balance and activates your body’s natural ability to heal.

It can also be used for:

• Facial rejuvenation
• Weight management
