ACUPUNCTURE
Have you ever found yourself with a headache or a stomach ache and there is one particular site that you find pushing on gives you relief? The meridian system works from a similar principle, however the body has been closely studied to understand the intricate signs and symptoms that are characteristic of imbalance. If these signs and symptoms are treated while they are still a functional problem as opposed to a structural one, TCM has a much quicker result. Prevention is always better than cure. An acupuncture practitioner is trained to look for unhealthy imbalances in the bodies functioning or structure, and to then stimulate organ systems through acupuncture points to regulate or enhance the bodies internal healing system. Thus working with the bodies innate healing system and assessing why it is not functioning optimally.
Acupuncture involves piercing the skin at specific sites to encourage the movement of energy (qi) through what is known as meridians or 'energy pathways.' These meridians are pathways of energy that have been mapped over the body through empirical investigation and experience over thousands of years. This 'energy' includes more material substances such as fluid and blood, but this 'energy could also be considered the precursor to such substances. In other words the bodies intelligence that activates and animates physical matter.
Numerous studies have shown that acupuncture has a broad range of physiological effects including; analgesic effects, regulation of bodily functions, enhancement of immunity and sedative and psychological effects.
