Acupuncture works through stimulating the body’s healing responses or immune system. "Acupoints" lie on meridians (channels) in the body and are stimulated by the insertion of fine needles at various points. The action of each point and combination of points in effectively treating different ailments and conditions has been learnt through observation. In recent years these actions have been refined and verified by modern scientific techniques.

Meridians and Qi Energy The aim of acupuncture is to regulate the meridians (or channels) of the body in order to re-open the stagnation of Qi (pronounced Chee – meaning vital life force or energy).Each of the 12 main meridians is believed to have its own pulse and the acupuncturist assesses these in order to decide which points to stimulate. |

Acupuncture is thought to restore health by removing energy imbalances and
blockages in the body. Qi regulates the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical harmony of the body. Pain - Acupuncture has been shown to be remarkably successful at controlling chronic aches and pains. |

Scientists have discovered that the needles appear to make the body produce its own natural painkillers, called endorphins.
