Acupuncture

A Pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture is a fundamental element of traditional Chinese Medicine, a comprehensive system of ancient healing practices. It stands as one of the key pillars of this holistic approach, alongside the use of herbs, tui na (therapeutic massage), and clinical Qigong (energy movement exercises).

How Acupuncture Works

In acupuncture, ultra-fine sterile needles are precisely inserted into specific points on the body. These points are located along the body’s meridians and are chosen to address stagnation, enhance blood circulation, and restore the flow of Qi (vital energy). The depth of needle insertion varies depending on the treatment required.
