Acupuncture is an ancient tradition of medicine, which has been practised across the world, particularly in eastern cultures, for thousends of years. The fundamental principle underlying acupuncture is the concept that every living thing has a vital life energy known in Chinese medicine as Qi pronounced Chi, this energy flows around the body in channels called meridians. Acupuncture needles are used to manipulate this energy through insertion into specfic points along these channels. These channels nourish the body, rather like a river that flows across the land. Symptoms are the bodys distress signals, and are indicative of an imbalance in the bodys Qi. When Qi becomes deficient or out of balance, illness ensues. Acupuncturists are trained to recognise signs of physical and emotional unwellness that are associated with each meridian and to treat accordingly. Acupuncture helps to restore balance by stimulating the body to heal itself and to restore equilibrium. Acupuncture seeks to treat the underlying cause of illness as well as addressing the symptoms. Treatment is tailored to the individual and their needs are addressed whether emotional or physical.
