Accupuncture

Acupuncture is a holistic and ancient healing practice that originated in China over 2,500 years ago. It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points or acupoints. These needles are typically made of stainless steel and are extremely thin, causing minimal discomfort when inserted.

The fundamental principles of acupuncture are based on the concept of Qi (pronounced “chee”), which is considered the vital energy or life force that flows through the body along specific pathways known as meridians.
