What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, which involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. These points, known as acupoints, correspond to channels through which Qi, or vital energy, flows. By stimulating these points, acupuncture aims to restore the balance of Qi, promoting health and alleviating various ailments.
How does it work?
Health is the result of a harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of the life force known as Qi, pronounced “chi.” Advocates believe that illness is the consequence of an imbalance of these forces.
Qi flows through meridians, or pathways, in the human body. These meridians and energy flows are accessible through 361 acupuncture points in the body. Inserting needles into these points with appropriate combinations will bring the energy flow back into balance. Many acupuncture points are at sites where stimulation can affect the activity of multiple sensory neurons. These sites are also known as receptive fields.
The physical stimulation of needle insertion at these sites may affect pain processing in the central nervous system and muscles and increase blood flow to certain parts of the body.
