Acupuncture is the use of thin sterile metal needles inserted into specific acupuncture points. The objective is to stimulate the acupuncture point with the needle and to activate “qi”. The “qi” is also known as energy There are over 300 Acupuncture points that run on channels called meridians, corresponding to different organ systems. By activating the points along each meridian, the organ system can be balanced and symptoms can be decreased. The effects of acupuncture can be explained scientifically by the metal of the needle acting as a conductor to stimulating the body’s electromagnetism and nervous system (hence having a relaxing effect). All the needle attracts blood to the local area improving circulation and general healing
