Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the skin at specific points on the body. Stimulating acupuncture points can correct imbalances in the flow of qi through the meridian pathways in our body. The purpose of the meridians is to integrate all parts of the body; from internal organs to the surface of the body. Acupuncture is used to encourage natural healing, improve mood and energy, reduce or relieve pain and improve the bodies internal functions.
