How Does Acupuncture Work?
”Where there is blockage there is disease, Where there is disease there is blockage.”
In Chinese Medicine, specific acupuncture points correspond to energy channels, or meridians, which flow through the body. Blockages in the energy channels, it is believed, are responsible for illness and disease. Acupuncture therapy is the most commonly used alternative treatment, now considered more mainstream, and many find it helpful for pain, respiratory issues, infertility, sleep issues, allergies, stress relief, or other chronic or acute health conditions, listed below.
