How does acupuncture work?
According to the classical doctrines of  Chinese medicine, there is an unceasing flow of “Qi”(life energy) throughout the human body. This vital energy originates from the major organs ,and flows along the continuous circulatory channels called meridians. When the energy flow is smooth and in balance , then one will feel ill or pain. There are some specific points along the meridians called “Acupuncture Points”  where the energy can be stimulated and the function of related organs can be regulated, thus restoring the delicate balance: then beneficial healing can occur.Acupuncture is applied to the points selected on the basis of meridian systems thus enabling acupuncture to maintain the body’s harmonious equilibrium. In fact ,acupuncture stimulates the body’s own healing abilities –your innate power to heal yourself . We do not only use acupuncture to treat disease but also to strengthen the human body’s physical condition, to prevent disease, to promote health , achieve longevity

What should I expect from a treament?
Most patients find the treatment very relaxing, which brings on a feeling of  well-being. As a sign of  “obtaining the vital energy.” Some patients may have a slight sensation of  soreness , numbness, distention, or heaviness around the needles. The beneficial reaction usually starts during the first four or five visits. Of course, just like any other medical treatment, not all cases can be cured. However, there is no harmful effect from the therapy in common practice. Therefore, people who suffer from lingering or chronic diseases and do not respond well to orthodox medicine are particularly encouraged to try this promising Chinese art of healing.
