The Benefits of Acupuncture Treatments
The practice of acupuncture is integral to the ancient healing system of Traditional Chinese Medicine), which maintains that the life force of energy, known as "Qi", flows throughout the body along energetic pathways known as "meridians". The proper flow of "Qi" is vital to good health, and any imbalance of this flow results in pain, dysfunction and disease. Acupuncture corrects and balances the flow of "Qi," thus promoting the body's natural and healthy functions and treating the individual as an intricately interwoven whole of mind, body, and spirit. It may be thought of like this: If a river is blocked up with debris and garbage and the free flow of water is impeded, it will, over time, become stagnant. What was once drinkable water from the crystal clear river is now toxic and poisonous. To ‘cure’ the ‘sick’ river, all the garbage must be removed so that the free and clear flow of water may progress unimpeded: then crystal clear clarity and purity are given back to the river. And so it is with the human being, a microcosm of the universe! Acupuncture achieves this reinstatement of free flow and helps make the body what it once was: clear, clean, free-flowing and abundant with health.
Acupuncture, in practice, is the use of hair-thin needles, which are painlessly inserted into specific points along the "meridians" to restore the body’s balance of energy. Each of the hundreds of points possesses specific and unique functions. Acupuncture works with the body, strengthening and balancing energy. It improves circulation and allows the body to heal more quickly and completely. With respect to gynecological health, acupuncture is very effective in regulating the menstrual cycle which plays a pivotal role in regulating endocrine function. Acupuncture is a safe, minimally invasive and effective therapy in treating complexities of the female system for menstruating women, pregnancy health, and post-partum care.
