Acupuncture
Millions of Chinese can't be wrong! For over five
thousand of years acupuncturists have used needles and other methods
to stimulate pressure points in the body in order to relieve pain
and help alleviate health disorders.
Each person has an energy circulation. To maintain
good health, it is essential for the body's energy, as well as the
blood, to circulate in a continuous and unobstructed manner. The
pathways through which the energy flows are called meridians and
these circulate through the organs and tissues of the body. The
energy which flows along the meridians is called Qi (Chi). These
meridians were mapped out by the ancient Chinese and there are over
500 acupuncture points
Acupuncture is an element of Traditional
Chinese Medicine which works on stimulating these acupuncture
points to release energy restrictions using techniques such as needling,
cupping or moxibustion to rebalance the flow of energy (Qi) through
the meridians.
The goal of acupuncture therapy is to establish a
healthier state of body function and to increase the capacity to
cope with stress.
This science and art of healing has become widely
accepted over the past three decades. It has now been established
as a profession in Australia and has proved to be safe and effective.
