What is acupuncture?
tt Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese method that involves placing
fine needles at specific points on the body’s surface to treat
various health problems with a recognized history of almost 3000
years.
tt It is designed to correct any imbalances in the body which may
give rise to disease or illness.
tt In acupuncture, the belief is that there is a continuous circulation
of energy in the organism. Illness can occur because of
derangement of this circulation. Where energy fails to circulate
as it should, vital organs may suffer from it. The Chinese call this
flow of energy, or life force, “Qi”.
tt By inserting needles at specific acupuncture points along energy
channels within the body, called meridians (energy paths), energy
channels can be unblocked or stimulated in order to an an effect
on a particular parts of the body or symptom.
tt Acupuncture, if practice properly, can redirect and normalize the
flow of energy and bring the patient back to health

pregnancy
#8 Chinese medicine is the primary treatment for
pregnancy and birth in China. It has been that way
for thousands of years.
@ Pregnancy is seen as a damp condition in Chinese
medicine. This is due to the dominance of Yin (body
fluids).
# Pregnancy is also seen as the marriage of Yin and
Yang energies (Male and Female). Thus the Yin and
Yang symbol is a perfect model of birth.
