Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is a type of treatment wherein very thin needles are inserted through the skin. These are strategically placed in certain parts of the body in different depths. This process is done by an acupuncturist. The aim of acupuncture is to balance the energy flowing in the body of the person.
In TCM, health is a function of a harmonious balance of ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ of the life force ‘qi’. Imbalances of forces cause illnesses.. Qi flows through meridians of the pathway of the body of a person. Acupuncture accesses these meridians to facilitate the proper balance needed. This then brings back the energy flow, creating the balance. This leads to better body performance.
Many studies show it boosts the overall wellbeing of the person. It is believed to cure many illnesses. Studies show it can help alleviate pain. These include back pain, neck, and joint tension. It can also relieve headaches. It can even reduce eye strain.
