Why Acupuncture?
Einstein showed us that everything is made of, and radiates energy. According to traditional acupuncture theory, this intelligent energy is Qi (pronounced “chee.”) Qi flows as an invisible current throughout the body through a series of pathways or channels beneath the skin. These channels can be compared to the complex arterial system within our bodies that carries blood and delivers essential nutrients. Just as our blood vessels can get clogged from poor lifestyle choices and disease, potentially cutting off the blood and oxygen supply to our heart and brain, channels work in a similar fashion. The flow of Qi can be disturbed by a number of factors including: poor nutrition, climatic conditions, infections, poisons, trauma, hereditary factors and emotional states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief. Acupuncture, moxa and cupping are treatments that help Qi to flow properly through the body.
