Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture
TCM is a complete medical system that includes acupuncture, as well as use of botanical formulas and dietary changes. According to TCM health is determined by a balanced flow of Qi, the vital energy present in all living organisms. Acupuncture involves the stimulation of certain specific points on the body along Qi pathways called “channels” or “meridians”. Individual points have specific therapeutic effects on the body’s organs, channels and vital energy. When acupuncture needles are inserted into these points they improve and balance the flow of energy and consequently relieve pain, and restore health. General sessions last 15-30minutes. Being relaxed and positive helps patients maximize the benefits of acupuncture treatments.
