Acupuncture

Classical acupuncture was first developed in China over 5,000 years ago. It is a complex system of examination, diagnosis and treatment. In its inception it was though of as preventive medicine, that is, the creation and maintenance of health.

Traditional Acupuncture is a healing art and science which teaches how to see the entire human being in bodymindspirit, how to recognize the process of health and illness, and how to go about the restoration of lost health in an individual. The main difference between Western medicine and Oriental medicine is the basic theory of the Chinese that there is a Life Force called Chi energy, and that this Life Force flows with in us in a harmonious, balanced way. This harmony and balance is health. If the life force is not flowing properly, then there is disharmony and imbalance. This is illness.

Acupuncture treatment restores order and balance to the Chi Energy enabling it to flow clearly without obstruction, so the Bodymindspirit can heal itself. Traditional Acupuncture treats the person, not the disease.
