WHAT ARE ACUPUNCTURE
AND MOXIBUSTION?

The human body has an unceasing
flow of 'life energy'.
This vital force originates in the major organs
and flows along continuous circulatory
channels called 'meridians'.

When the energy flow is smooth
and in balance, one is healthy.
When balance and flow are disturbed
or blocked, you feel ain and may become ill.

Acupuncture treatments are relatively painless
ways of stimulating the flow of energy.
The patient may feel a characteristic warmth or tingling,
signaling the flow of previously blocked energy.
Blood and oxygen circulation increase
throughout the system, balancing the body.
When hair-fine acupuncture needles are employed,
they are new and discarded after one use.

Most patients sense something being performed,
but acupuncture treatment is essentially pain-free.
