How does acupuncture work?

 

The Chinese believe that channels

of energy (Meridians), run in regular patterns through the body and over

the surface of the skin. Meridians are like rivers flowing through the body

to irrigate and nourish the tissues.

An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that builds and blocks other areas.

 

Acupuncture needles unblock the obstructions and re-establish the regular flow through the meridians.

Acupuncture treatments help the

body’s internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities, and in the circulation of

their energy through the meridians.
