| What Is AcupunctureAcupuncture is an alternative medical practice that involves  stimulating certain points (known as acupuncture points) on the body, most  often with a needle which penetrates the skin, in order to alleviate pain, or  to treat various health conditions. Traditional acupuncture is a Chinese medical practice, which  states that the healthy functioning of the body is governed by the harmonious  flow of a dynamic energy, known as ‘Qi’ (pronounced chie). When this flow of energy is impaired by pathogenic factors  influencing the body internally and externally,   the body is compromised and illness occurs. As a standalone treatment or as a compliment to other  treatments, acupuncture provides an effective solution for a wide range  conditions. Traditional Acupuncture is a scientifically and  medically approved treatment in modern world. |
