What
is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture
is an ancient system of healing developed over thousands of
years as part of the traditional medicine of China, Japan
and other Eastern countries.
Acupuncture
has evolved into a system of medicine that restores and maintains
health by the insertion of fine needles into acupuncture points
just beneath the body surface. These points are in very specific
locations and lie on channels of energy. Moxibustion, the
warming of acupuncture points through the use of smouldering
herbs, is often used as a suppliment and the needles may also
be stimulated using a small electric current. |
