What are the basics of how acupuncture works?
Acupuncture is a component of the health care system that can be traced back at least 2,500 years. The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow (Qi) through the body that are essential for health. Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease. Acupuncture may, it has been theorized, correct imbalances of flow at identifiable points close to the skin. Acupuncture treats the underlying imbalances and promotes harmony within the body without injecting any chemicals/drugs into your body.
