How does Acupuncture works?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine theory is the control of Meridians and collaterals that balance the human body.

The meridians and collaterals are the pathways in which the Qi and blood of the human body are circulated. They pertain to the Zang-Fu organs, Zang means five major organs of the human body: Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney.

Fu means six sub organs of the body: Gallbladder, Small intestine, Stomach, Large-Intestine, Bladder, Sanjiao. Interiorly forming a network and linking the tissues and organs into an organic whole.

Acupuncture adjusts and stimulates the Qi and the blood blance of Zang-Fu of the body and homeostatic energy circulation properly.

Acupuncture began in ancient China, Korea, and Japan for more than 2,500 years of long historical experimental medicine. According to TCM theory the body has more than 2,000 of these points, among of these over 400 points practically have each own name by their functions.

Practitioners believe that this helps relieve pain and improve health. Through the effects that come from stimulating the centeral nervous system, this may trigger the release of chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals either alter the experience of pain or produce bodily changes that promotes a sense of well being.
