Acupuncture is a comprehensive healthcare system rooted in ancient Oriental medical theory. It is not just a single technique, but a holistic diagnostic approach that considers the interconnectedness of the body and mind, and its relationship with the environment. Acupuncture involves needle insertion, moxibustion, cupping, and various other techniques. It is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which views the body as a dynamic, interconnected system of organs, and pathways called meridians, through which Qi flows. Qi is a fundamental concept in TCM and Chinese philosophy. When Qi flows freely and harmoniously throughout the body, health is maintained. Acupuncture facilitates the movement of Qi and this movement of Qi, restores balance and supports the body’s natural healing processes.
