Acupuncture
Recent
developments in science have determined that
human beings are complex bioelectric
systems. Remarkably, this
understanding has been the foundation of
acupuncture practice for several thousand
years.
Acupuncture
is the insertion of fine, sterile, metal
filiform needles into specific points of the
body. These needles are about as thick
as a strand of hair, and insertion is
usually painless.
Energy
circulates throughout the body along
well-defined pathways. If this energy
circulation is disrupted, the result can be
pain or illness. Acupuncture points
are stimulated to balance the circulation of
energy, which influences the health of the
entire being and promotes the body's natural
healing ability.
Most
conditions can be corrected or improved
without any side effects commonly caused by
chemical drugs. As a comprehensive
system of preventive health care, many
people also rely on acupuncture for health
maintenance.
Throughout
its long history, acupuncture has
established a solid reputation as a system
of health that works.
