What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the ancient eastern medical practice based on observing circulatory patterns in the body. It was developed around the same time that people first began living in cities, and it focuses on restoring balance to the body. Acupuncture points are found throughout the body, and they form a complex system of meridians. Those who practice acupuncture believe that nature, planetary, and environmental forces play a significant role in the way that the human form functions.

More and more, the meridian system of Acupuncture is being verified and integrated into modern Western medicine. As modern medicine is excellent at saving lives and fixing broken parts in the body, Acupuncture is excellent at preventing the body from becoming degenerative, and the two complement each other by maintaining overall wellness.
