Traditional Acupuncture

Traditional acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese theories of the flow of Qi (Energy) and Xue (Blood) through distinct meridians or pathways that cover the body somewhat like nerves and blood vessels do. According to ancient theory, acupuncture allows Qi to flow to areas where it is deficient and away from areas where it is in excess. In this way acupuncture regulates and restores the harmonious energetic balance of the body. In Chinese there is a saying, “there is no pain if there is a free flow of Qi: if there is pain, there is no free flow”.
