Acupuncture has been an
important component of Chinese medicine for at least 2000 years.
It has been used effectively and safely since then and today is
still the mainstay of medical practice in China.
Chinese doctors use a different medical model from the one that
we are used to in the West. Instead of seeing cells, genes and
molecules. Chinese doctors are interested in the energy flow of
the body. This energy, called Qi (pronounced chee) connects all
the organs of the body. Blockages in this energy flow will
result in the diseases that we are familiar with today. These
may be physical, or mental and emotional disorders. The
acupuncturist will use fine needles to restore the flow of
energy and hence restore good health. Acupuncture does not rely
on any external medicines or additional supplements, there is
nothing added to the needles, therefore it can be used in
conjunction with any medication or therapy a patient may already
be engaged in.
