What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into acupoints as the means of influencing and directing therapeutic change.
This initiates a ripple effect that therapeutically affects both the physical and the psycho-emotional dimensions of the patient. As such, Qi is the level of mediation within the Mind-Body dynamic.
Acupoints
Acupoints are specific locations along the course of meridians that run the length and breadth of the body. They provide portals through which we can communicate with the body to adjust specific physiological and pathological substances and processes.
Meridians
The channel system, also known as meridians, forms the extension of the mind down through the body. It can loosely be described as the energetic pathways that link the surface of the body to the internal organs and physiology within.
Qi
Qi (pronounced Chi) is a form of energetic information. A skilled acupuncturist is facilitating healthy re-calibration of homeostasis and balance within the patient on the level of Qi to promote and restore health.
