Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an important component of traditional Chinese medicine. It is used to prevent and treat disease by puncturing certain points on the body with very fine sterile disposable needles. When appropriate, the needles are further stimulated through manual manipulation, heat with ignited moxa wool or electrical stimulation with gentle electrical impulses. Of marked efficacy and requiring but simple equipment, they have been widely popular in China and elsewhere for thousands of years. Acupuncture is used not only for pain control, but also for the prevention and treatment of a broad range of disease and for maintenance of general health and enhancement of stamina.

Acupuncture is a unique therapeutic method that treats disease by puncturing certain points of the human body with different types of metal needles and promoting smooth circulation of the meridian and adjusting Qi and blood.
There are 361 acupuncture points distributed along the 14 meridians and all these points can be used to treat disorders of the related organs. Disorders generated from or associated with a specific meridian have characteristic manifestations. After diagnosing an illness and determining the meridians involved, the doctor selects appropriated acupuncture points to form an acupuncture prescription. Determining the correct combination of points is very important, and manipulation of the needles to achieve the desired effects requires a studied skill.

An acupuncturist may be consulted by people with specific symptoms or conditions, such as pain, anxiety, arthritis, eczema, sports injuries, hay fever, asthma, migraine, high blood pressure, menstrual disorders, intestinal problems or pregnancy management and delivery. While extensive practice and research has shown that acupuncture is effective in helping people with such conditions as well as with many others, it does more than simply relieve symptoms. The aim of acupuncture is to treat the whole patient and to restore the balance between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual.
