How Acupuncture Works |
| |
There are two kinds of explanations about how Acupuncture works. I would like to give a traditional explanation. In traditional Chinese Medicine, there exists meridian system through human body and more than 360 acu points are located at these meridians. Qi, or a stream of energy, flows through these meridians and acu points to support tissue, muscles and organs. |

When the Qi is obstructed in certain critical points, or acu points, the function of tissue, muscles and organs are known to be surfing the root cause for the medical problem. |
| • |
By inserting #Acupuncture needles into acu points helps the release of Qi flow and corrects Qi imbalances at the organ level to improve your energy and internal processing. |
