Acupuncture is a time-honored healing practice that has been used for over 5,000 years, originating in ancient China. This natural therapy involves the gentle insertion of ultra-thin needles into specific points on the body to influence and balance the flow of energy, known as qi (气).
When your qi flows smoothly, your body is in balance and health is maintained. Disruptions in this energy flow can lead to physical or emotional imbalances. By targeting precise acupuncture points—areas where energy surfaces and can be guided—acupuncture helps restore harmony and support the body's natural ability to heal.
